As the CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals near their climax, all eyes are on Ghanaian side Dreams FC as they prepare to face off against Egyptian giants Zamalek in what promises to be a showdown of epic proportions.
In the first leg at Cairo Stadium, Zamalek and Dreams battled to a tense stalemate, leaving the tie delicately poised for the return fixture in Kumasi. With Dreams’ historic journey in the competition hanging in the balance, Zamalek is determined to put an end to their fairy tale run.
Led by the tactical prowess of Portuguese coach Jose Gomez, Zamalek enters the fray with confidence, banking on their attacking trio of Ahmed Fattouh, Omar Gaber, and Ahmed Mustafa “Zizou” to break down Dreams’ resilient defense. However, the absence of captain Mahmoud Abdel Razek “Shikabala” due to injury casts a shadow over their aspirations, posing a significant challenge for the Whites.
On the other side, Dreams, under the astute guidance of coach Abdul Karim Zito, is ready to defy the odds once again. With a solid defensive style and the lethal goal-scoring ability of competition top scorer John Antwi, Dreams is poised to upset the giants of African football.
As the dark horse of the tournament, Dreams is determined to etch their name in the history books of Ghanaian football. With the stage set for a clash of titans, African football fans are in for a treat as Dreams and Zamalek lock horns in a battle for a spot in the final.
While all eyes are on Dreams and Zamalek, the other semi-final clash between RS Berkane and USM Alger promises its own brand of excitement and drama, ensuring a thrilling weekend of football action in the CAF Confederation Cup.
