Galaxy Overcome Hurdles To Set Up Sundowns Tie

Following a 4-0 drubbing of USD Zilimadjou of Comoros in the first leg of the preliminary round, a member of the Galaxy staff was said to have tested positive for Covid-19. Though the club remained coy with details, the team failed to leave for the island nation on Tuesday as initially scheduled because they underwent another round of tests.

The move cast doubt over the second leg tie initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon as the second round of test results were to be due in at least 48 hours later. More than 24 hours journey awaited the team and fears over missing the second leg and eventually forfeiting the tie as time ran out.
