Caf Champions League: We are not giving up on group stage qualification - Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu

Published on: 18 October 2021

Samuel Boadu has said he is confident of Hearts of Oak Caf Champions League group phase qualification chances.

The Ghana Premier League champions squeezed out a hard-fought 1-0 win against Wydada Athletic Club in the first leg of the preliminary round at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Striker Isaac Mensah's first-half strike was enough for the Phobians to keep their chances of qualification alive.

With the second leg scheduled for October 24 on Sunday in Casablanca, Boadu is confident his side has what it takes to progress to the group phase of the competition.

“We have learnt a lot from this game [against WAC]. We'll surely manage our style of play in the return leg tie for a good outcome in Morocco,” Boadu told reporters after the game.

“The fans shouldn't give up and that's our motto ‘Never Say Die'. We are travelling to Morocco to qualify for the next stage of the competition," he added.

Hearts of Oak will be hosted at the Stade Mohammed V Stadium on Sunday.
