CAF CL: ‘We have to confirm qualification in Lubumbashi’ – TP Mazembe boss wary of Medeama threat
The DR Congo champions defeated Medeama in the first leg of the encounter at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa on Sunday, scoring a late goal to break the hearts of the Ghanaian champions.
TP Mazembe coach Slimane Raho remains cautious about the prospects of his team advancing in the CAF Champions League preliminary stage tie against Medeama Sporting Club. Although TP Mazembe secured a victory in the first leg at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa, Raho acknowledged the formidable nature of Medeama. He stated, "Medeama SC is a very good team, a very, very good team.
I felt it in the game. We (TP Mazembe) would have to confirm qualification in Lubumbashi." Raho added that his team will demonstrate the same determination shown in Tarkwa during the return fixture. "It's about courage and being intelligent, and that is what we showed today. We will show more of this in the return leg," he continued.
Medeama aims to overturn the tie and progress to the next stage of the competition, striving for a spot in the group phase.
