Dreams FC showcased a spirited performance as they held former
champions Zamalek to a draw in the first leg of their CAF Confederation
Cup tie on Sunday in Cairo.
Displaying immense bravery, Dreams
FC's players put their bodies on the line to frustrate the Egyptian
giants, leaving the Cairo International Stadium with a result they can
be proud of.
Despite facing the intimidating atmosphere created by the Zamalek fans, coach Abdul Karim Zito's boys remained undaunted.
In
a defensive masterclass, Dreams FC limited Zamalek to just six shots on
target out of their 25 goal attempts, highlighting their resilience and
determination.
Notably, Zamalek's late surge was thwarted by a
series of blocks and a stroke of luck as they hit the post during a
goal-mouth scramble.
Although Dreams FC created few scoring
opportunities, their defensive solidity was complemented by a crucial
long-range free kick from Abdul Aziz Issah, which represented their sole
shot on target.
The jubilant scenes at full-time reflected
Dreams FC's satisfaction with their performance, as players celebrated
with each other and their supporters in the stadium.
However,
despite the positive outcome, they remain focused on the task ahead,
aware that complacency could prove costly in the second leg.
With
a place in the final at stake, Dreams FC understand the importance of
maintaining their unbeaten record in the competition at the Baba Yara
Stadium.
A victory in Kumasi would be a remarkable achievement
for the club, particularly considering it would mark their debut
appearance in the final of the CAF Confederation Cup.
