Al Hilal coach, Florent Ibenge, has insisted that they will do everything possible to book a place in the semifinals in the CAF Champions League.
The Sudanese side will host Egyptian side, Al Ahly, in the return leg of the quarterfinal game today at the Sheikh Bedia Stadium in Mauritania, with kick-off scheduled at 19:00 GMT.
Hilal goes into the game after losing the first leg 1-0 last week.
“Everyone did their part, and we will do everything we can to secure qualification to the semi-finals, because we are working towards that and have confidence in our players,” Ibenge said.
“We know the difficulty of the match, given that the first leg result was in Al-Ahly’s favor, a result that gives them the advantage to maintain and play on counterattacks.
“We must play offensively to score, but without leaving spaces behind us that our opponents cannot exploit. This is difficult, especially against a team as big as Al Ahly, whose players’ capabilities in the front line we know and appreciate.”
“In a match like this, we must be patient and work to score as early as possible because we need goals. That’s why we need all the support from our fans everywhere, and all the prayers that we can achieve what we want and win the match,” he added.
