Gor Mahia’s head coach, Leo Neiva, has told jeetbuzz59.com that the team does not fear record winners Al Ahly as the two sides prepare to play in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.
The Kenyan championsꩲ, 21-time winners of the Premier League, booked a slot into the second round after thrashing South Sudanese side El Merrikh Be💛ntiu 5-1 in Nairobi and 5-2 on aggregate.
Egyptian giants Ahly, 🦄11-time Champions Lea💮gue winners, are exempt from the first round of the competition by seeding, as they are also the defending champions.
Football is about the 11 men on the pitch. We know the kind of opponent we are preparinꦕg to face. I know everyone will say, we are going to be eliminated. But no, we will go there and fight. We will compete. We do not fear Al Ahly.

He revisited Gor Mah💜ia’s match up against a🍎nother Egyptian giant, Zamalek, in 2019, which K’Ogalo won 4-2 in Nairobi.
It is possible to win, and I believe that. If we go to the game with a positive a♚ttitude, I believe we will get a🎉 result.

Go🌳r overturned a 1-0 first leg deficit against South Su🍃dan’s Merrikh, surviving from conceding an early goal to clinch victory at home.
