ABA YELLOW ADVANCE IN CAF BUT A TOUGH TEST AWAITS!

27.08.2023 | Football in my DNA | KABWE CHISHIMBA ✍

Zambia Super League Champions Power Dynamos put up an impressive performance against African Sport to win the game by a goal-to-nil, with an aggregate of 2-2 with an away goal advantage, advancing to the next round of the CAF Champions league playoffs against one of Tanzania's finest Simba SC.

Aba Yellow controlled much of the game, with their trademark soft passing gameplay which was thrilling to watch, won a penalty through a John Soko forward which was cooley by the goal machine Boyeli in the first half.

With the focus now shifted to their opponents in the next round, Aba Yellow will have quite a tough test when they make date with the Tanzanian giants. The last time the two sides met was 3 weeks ago at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Simba day with the hosts outplaying the visitors beating them 2-0 with goal from Essemba Onana in the 5th minute and Ngoma in the 75th minute.

Despite the negative comment by the African Sports coach, Power is determined to compete and salvage a positive results against the Tanzanian side. If that has to be achieved Power need to work a little extra hard especially when it comes to converting chances as we saw them miss quite a number of convertible chances. A little more stability will be required at the back, leaving no room for defensive errors and not allowing the opponents exploit the backline.

Simba has a hugely talented squad with pacey and swift wingers and can terrorize their opponents defense, such will be the ones to look out for in attacks because they're really good just like what we saw in that friendly game 3 weeks. Their midfield has got class and can be a force to reckon with when they are given chance to roam around the middle of the pitch and control play. Their Achilles heel is the defense and our boys can try to capitalize on that weakness and try to get something out of it.

We hope that Mr Chipepo will devise tactics that will outsmart the Tanzanian outfit!

All the best Aba Yellow!!!!! 💛
