CAF CHAMPION – Mulenga in particular, was a lively figure throughout and built on the impressive display in Morocco last week and with ES Setif up next, the result will no doubt provide a major boost of confidence for the debutants.
McCarthy claimed in the pre-match that they are ‘dreaming’ of emulating Kaizer Chiefs who defied odds of reaching the final in their first-ever CAF group stage campaign and they have notably taken an important step but with four games remaining in a competitive group with Setif, Raja and Horoya – it remains a challenging proposition.
Last season’s DStv Premiership runners-up will face TS Galaxy on Tuesday before hosting ES Setif at home on Friday, 25 February.
Line-ups:
AmaZulu XI: Mothwa; Gumede, Xoki, Khumalo, Zulu (Sikhakane 85′); Memela (Ntuli 86′), Buchanan (Mobara 85′), Makhaula, Mlambo (Cessay 66′), Mulenga, Majok (Qalinge 65′).
