Published on: 26 August 2024

Nsoatreman FC head coach Yaw Preko has said he foresaw victory for his team in the reverse fixture of their CAF Confederation Cup tie against Elect-Sport of Chad.

The Ghana FA Cup champions won the second leg of the first preliminary round 2-0 on Sunday in Yaoundé to progress to the second preliminary round with an aggregate score of 5-0 after winning the first leg 3-0 in Accra.

Speaking after the game, Preko said, “After a 3-0 win back home, we wanted to seal the game here. When they said the game was going to be in Cameroon, I knew victories would always be ours because, when you look at the Lion of Cameroon, it's the same as the lion on our shirt; we also have a lion here.

“I told the boys, ‘Let's go in at 0-0 and start the game very well.’ But unfortunately, we saw the strategy they employed, so we decided to frustrate them by keeping the ball.”

Nsoatreman FC will now face Algerian side Constantine in the second preliminary round.
