CAF Champions League: Medeama can still shock TP Mazembe in return leg, says Nana Oduro Sarfo
Ghana Football Association Executive Council member Nana Oduro Sarfo believes Medeama SC can still overturn their first-leg defeat to TP Mazembe and keep their CAF Champions League campaign alive.
The Ghana Premier League champions suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to the Congolese giants in the first leg of the preliminary round at TNA Park on Sunday.
Medeama will travel to DR Congo this weekend for the return fixture, with Oduro Sarfo insisting the tie remains firmly within reach.
“It is not over for Medeama,” he told Asempa FM.
“I think they can go there and make a statement. They should motivate themselves, go there and cause an upset just like what Mazembe has done in the first leg.”
Oduro Sarfo also pointed to Medeama’s summer recruitment as a reason for optimism ahead of the decisive second leg.
“With the recruitment Medeama has done, I think they can go and make a statement,” he added.
The Tarkwa-based club are aiming to secure a place in the CAF Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2022-23 season.
