Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly’s head coach, expressed his happiness following our 1-0 win over Simba SC of Tanzania in Matchday 6 of the CAF Champions League group stage.

Missed Opportunities 

“We had a good game against a strong opponent and their goalkeeper saved many chances.”

El Shenawy’s Reaction

“One of Simba SC’s players fouled El Shenawy and our captain reacted. The game saw several feelings which is normal in the CAF Champions League games but it is not an unacceptable behavior.”

Playing Time 

“We gave playing time to many players because of the injuries that the team is suffering and that affected our performance in the second half.”

Overwhelmed Schedule 

“We have an overwhelmed schedule and we have to be ready for the upcoming games, which will see an important derby against Zamalek SC. The players must have an off-season for five weeks to avoid fatigue and injuries.”

Nasser Maher 

“Finally Nasser Maher is ready and has fully recovered from his shoulder injury.”
