El Eulma coach Azzedine Aït Djoud hopes to ‘write football history’ when his side comes up against one of the ‘greatest’ clubs on the continent in the 1/16th stage of the CAF Champions League this weekend.

“It will be very important to stick together to not cash a killer goal that could, on arrival, weigh heavily in the balance,
He added: “The attack is the best way to defend and, believe me, the guys are determined to not giving the opportunity to the keeper of the Asante to be unemployed.”
