He noted that his mates are very much prepared to face Real Bamako and will give off a tough fight to win and progress. “We are willing to work hard so that we will be able to qualify, and looking at what is going on in training, we are very much prepared. “Everyone is at his peak; we are all fighting, it’s not going to be an easy task, but with determination, hard work, we are going to put in every effort to qualify for our darling club.” Mohammed Alhassan said. Hearts of Oak will have to beat Real Bamako by a four-goal margin to advance to the next stage of the competition. JNA/DO
