CAF Confederation Cup: We can score in Ghana – Zamalek coach Jose Gomez on Dreams FC’s return fixture

Zamalek coach Jose Gomez is confident his outfit can score against Dreams FC in the return fixture of the CAF Confederation Cup semifinals.

The Still Believe lads held the Egyptian giants to a scintillating draw at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.

Despite creating scoring opportunities, Zamalek were unable to find the back of the net as the game ended 0-0.

Dreams FC created limited scoring opportunities in the game but ensured they don’t concede against Zamalek in the much-anticipated clash.

Ahead of the return leg, Jose Gomez says his side can score at least one goal at the Baba Yara Stadium this Sunday.

"We missed speed and playing our way against Dreams," said the Portuguese boss after the game.

"There were some technical errors and we did not play optimally, but we had many positions that qualified us to win and decide the match," he added.

Gomes has already switched his attention to next week's second leg in Kumasi, Ghana.

"Unfortunately, we were not able to achieve victory and the first half of the semi-final match ended," he continued. "We now need to focus and play the second half well in Ghana.

"Things will be very different in the return match, especially with the grass, humidity and temperature, and even if things are like that, I trust the players," he said.

"We expected more from the players in the match regarding the way we played. We had many chances and did not score, and it is possible that we will score in Ghana, even if at least one goal."

The return leg will be played at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, April 28, 2024
