"I think the trip was good, it wasn't that long like we usually do. It was only from Johannesburg to Dubai, and from Dubai to Cairo. It was smooth. And coming to the game, I think we all know Al Ahly Benghazi are a good team and they've got a lot of players in the national team. It's not an easy or a walkover game we have. We know a couple of (their) players play in the national team, if not six, seven or eight of them. It's a very good team," the Zambian shot-stopper told the media.
The other Mzansi representatives in the competition, Orlando Pirates, will host Namibia's African Stars FC in their match at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.
