CAFCC: “Dreams need to score early to unsettle Zamalek” – Former Zamalek striker Felix Aboagye
Former Zamalek SC forward, Felix Aboagye, has cautioned Dreams FC to score an early goal in their CAF Confederation Cup fixture against the Egyptian side at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, April 28.
Dreams FC secured a draw at the Cairo International Stadium after the heroics of Solomon Agbasi proved vital to prevent Zamalek from scoring in the first leg.
Karim Zito’s side are far-advanced in the competition despite their inconsistent performance in the Ghana Premier League.
Ahead of the crucial second leg against Zamalek, Aboagye, who played for Zamalek during his career, has emphasized the need for the Ghanaian side to have an early edge over the Egyptians.
“Arab clubs, when they play away, are strategically strong. Zamalek is pushing hard to score an early goal,” said the former Ghana international in an interview with Joy Sports.
“Dreams FC in their last match played in Ghana, they conceded the first goal before coming back to win. Against Zamalek, they can’t afford that. They need to work very hard and score early to unsettle Zamalek.”
The match is slated to kick off at 16:00 GMT at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
