Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito says his team is prepared for a penalty shootout ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup semifinal reverse fixture against Zamalek on Sunday in Kumasi.
Ahead of the crucial match, Zito emphasized the importance of being prepared for all scenarios, including the possibility of penalties.
With the first leg ending in a goalless draw in Cairo, Dreams FC acknowledges the challenge posed by Zamalek and the need for a strong performance to avoid elimination.
Aware of the significance of securing a win to progress to the final for the first time, Dreams FC also understands that a scoring draw would be enough for Zamalek to advance.
Zito reassured fans of the team’s readiness for penalty shootouts, highlighting the players’ performance during training.
"You watched the training yourself, we ended with penalty shootouts and out of the twenty-four (24) players only three (3) of them could not score, so we are ready if it gets to penalties. Let me say that we are hoping to go in on Sunday and secure qualification in regulation time," during an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
