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 champions, 21-time winners of the Premier League, booked a slot into the second round after thrashing South Sudanese side El Merrikh Bentiu 5-1ಌ in Nairobi and 5-2 on aggregate.
Egyptian giants Ahly, 11-time Champions League winners, are exempt from the first round of the competitܫion by seeding, as they are also the de🎀fending champions.
Football is about the 11 men on the pitch. We know the kind of opponent we are preparing 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 Mahia’s match up against another Egyptian giant, Zam✅al🍒ek, 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 attitude, I believe we will get a result.
Gor overturned a 1-0 first ღleg deficit against South ♔Sudan’s Merrikh, surviving from conceding an early goal to clinch victory at home.
