Moyagoleele are on course for a historic appearance in the CAF Champions League mini- league group stages.

'With intense preparations, we can go far. In football, anything is possible,' Bright said during a media briefing in Gaborone yesterday. He said that against Starlight, his players were not 100 percent fit as they looked tired towards the end of the game.

He stated that by the time the second leg is played, they will have worked hard on fitness levels. Vincent Phiri, Ronald Chikomo and Mandla Mgadla scored the goals that secured the crucial away victory. Bright pointed out that they could have scored more goals if the players were not wasteful.

'It is good that we managed to score three goals away but we must be careful in the second leg because we do not know how they will play,' he said. The second leg will take place on April 2. If GU proceed to the next round, they are likely to take on the winner between Dynamos of Zimbabwe and DRC side, FC Lupopo in the second round.

The winner of the second round duel will qualify for the league stage where the two top teams in the two groups proceed to the semi-finals. If GU fail to overcome Dynamos or Lupopo, they will drop to the Confederations Cup where they will go straight to the group stages.
