Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly’s head coach, revealed that the Red Eagles came to Niger to win against USGN, adding that he is not happy with the 1-1 draw.  

“I am not happy with the result. We came here to win but we did not get the result we wanted but it is not easy to play here under these conditions.”

“We like to focus on the positive side. We scored a goal but unfortunately, in the end, we conceded a goal. We defended very well until the goal we conceded.”

“I do not want to comment on the referee’s decision in Akram’s penalty. It is very difficult for a referee to give two penalties in one game in African competitions. It is my 9th year in the CAF Champions League and I know it is difficult to whistle two penalties for an away team.”  

“There is only one thing I will say to my beloved continent, when are they going to put VAR in all games? VAR will support everyone because sometimes it is not easy for the referee to see.”
