Cairo International stadium witnessed a goalless draw between Al Ahly’s 10-men and Pyramids. This draw took our points tally to 86 and we are now shifting the focus to the CAF Champions League semi-final against Wydad AC.
Our coach Mosimane spoke about tonight's game to the press, so here is the full transcript:
On tonight's game…
It was a difficult game against a big team. We lost a player at the first half and played with 10 men for 65 minutes. However, we played with a spirit, tactical discipline and kept a clean sheet for the third consecutive game.
On Afsha’s performance …
Afsha played well today. I spoke with him at half time and he was a little bit disappointed after missing a penalty at the first half. I wanted him to score at the second half to feel better but his shot hit the bar.
On team’s injuries …
My job is to help the team in the difficult moments and be calm to make them feel confident. I miss a player every game ever since I have been here but we move on without complaining.
Al Ahly will train on Monday morning, which is the team’s last training session prior to traveling to Morocco to face Wydad.
