CS Sfaxien executed a formidable operation this Saturday in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final, securing a 2-0 victory against Tout Puissant Mazembe and positioning themselves favorably for the trophy. Despite the success, coach Ruud Krol emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and concentration.
Expressing satisfaction with his players’ performance, Krol remains cautious ahead of the return match in DR Congo next week. He states, “I have been to several African countries but never to the DRC. We must remain calm after this success in Tunis. Our team knows how to play football, and it demonstrated it against a big opponent that we knew how to handle tactically. It’s never easy to win in style. We succeeded. Now, it’s up to us to confirm with TPM.”
On the other side, Patrice Carteron, the coach of Tout Puissant Mazembe, seeks inspiration from France’s performance against Ukraine in hopes of turning the situation around. With determination and strategic planning, both teams are gearing up for an intense return match, adding an element of suspense to the conclusion of the CAF Confederation Cup final.
