Mosimane: We Faced a Tough Opponent

First Team, Football

Our head coach Pitso Mosimane revealed that our team achieved an important victory after a tough match against Ceramica Cleopatra FC.

Al Ahly secured a 2-0 win over the newly promoted side thanks to goals from Mahmoud Kahraba and Walid Soliman. 

"We do not want to have problems with the referees but it was not the best performance from the game officials as Kahraba's second goal should not be disallowed."

"I changed my tactics during the match as I moved Akram Tawfik from the midfield to the right back position to help create more scoring chances."

"They had a gap between the midfield and the defense so I told Afsha to move between the two lines, especially as Afsha and El Shahat understand each other very well."

"I told Kahraba and Afsha to play in the midfield to put more pressure on the opponent." 

"Many players returned back after testing negative for COVID-19 but they still need more playing time to regain their best form."

"We managed to secure another clean sheet and get the three points against a tough opponent." 

When asked about Walter Bwalya's performance in his debut with the team, Mosimane said "He put on a good performance in his debut despite missing a clear chance before leaving the pitch but I am sure that he will show better performance in the next matches."
