He also ruled out any inferiority complex playing against a more experienced side in the competition.
“We have played against one of the most experienced teams in the Confederation Cup. We are not scared of any opposition that comes our way. We will play according to our plans and play against their weaknesses.
“At the moment, there are no injury worries in the team, but our lack of experience might be the challenge that we have at the moment. Experience comes with time and age. I’m sure with time, we will overcome it. ”
The aggregate winners on Sunday set up a clash with the winners of the Anglogold Ashanti Golden Boys of Guinea or Nouakchott Kings of Mauritania in a last-32 tie in October.
