Its win or burst for Samartex, Nsoatreman in Africa …as they face Raja, Constantine in 2nd leg ties

Michael Ephson-Samartex FC

Ghana’s representatives in Africa club competitions will return to action this weekend with tricky second leg ties to define their fate in the championships.

Starting today, League champions, FC Samartex, will hope to get the nod to the league stage of the CAF Champions League when they engage Raja Casablanca in a second leg tie in Morocco.

Nsoatreman will also attempt a major upset against CS Constantine who they lost 2-0 to in the first leg in Accra.

The tricky first leg outcomes obviously put them in danger of exiting the competition, considering the strength of North African teams at homes.

Both sides gave a good account of themselves in Accra last week, leaving the fans wondering what the outcome would be when they play in front of their supporters.

Among the two representatives, Samartex proved a more superior contender. They were, however, let down by poor defending that forced them to start on the back foot.

Despite the promise showed by Raja, luck smiled on them as the Ghanaians missed a series of goal scoring opportunities.

The narrative would have changed if those chances had been converted. With a modified approach, they can hold Raja in their back yard although it is clear that Raja could mount a totally different challenge.

Nsoatreman on the other side will face an uphill task in trying to overturn the 2-0 deficit suffered at home.

That seem an impossible task but Coach Yaw Preko is urging fans not to give up because they have plans to shock Constantine.
