They will meet a very hostile atmosphere at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium with around 60,000 capacity. The home side will be looking to maintain its impressive home record that stands at over 85% in the continental club tournaments. However Galaxy’s head coach, Morena Ramoreboli is unfazed and said his side will fight to the last breath to reach the group stages of the competition. “I do not think we showed character after conceding. I think that if we had fought harder we could have got something. This is why we made early changes so that the players coming in can adapt well to the tactics. We have to sit, plan and fight again over the weekend.
The challenge of facing 60,000 supporters should not stop us from planning properly and go there to play with confidence, arrogance. If we are going to go there and worry about supporters, we will not succeed. We will not go there and entertain the issue of supporters; we need to fight,” he said. Galaxy were a goal down just two minutes into the tie after Taddeo Lwaga headed home A corner kick. Three minutes later, the visitors had doubled their lead. This time it was captain John Bocco who out jumped his marker to head in yet another corner kick.
