CAF Confederation Cup Playoffs


ASEC Mimosas vs Kaizer Chiefs


27 April 2014


Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny, Abidjan





Kaizer Chiefs travel to Ivory Coast as underdogs after losing the 1st Leg by a 2 - 1 score line. Chiefs conceded a stoppage time opportunist goal when ASEC took advantage of slack Amakhosi defending to gain the lead when an unmarked Boua Koffi Davy guided the ball into an open net.



kaizerchiefs.com caught up with Mathew Rusike ahead of the Amakhosi's venture to the former Capital City of Ivory Coast, Abidjan:



"It's in us to look to win every game we play. Travelling to Ivory Coast is going to be difficult to turn the tables chasing a 1-goal deficit and the 2 away goals they scored. It is going to be tough but we have a good enough team to win the game,"



The Amakhosi trailed 1-0 for much of the 1st Leg match against ASEC, after captain Eurand Zagbayou opened the score in the 36th minute:



"Their 1st goal was a mistake that can happen in any game. But their 2nd goal was loss of concentration on our side. We will go to them to with nothing to lose and we will be attacking all the way,"



In the 1st Leg, the Amakhosi appeared to have salvaged a draw when Matthew Rusike equalised with a powerful, well-placed angled shot in the 87th minute:



"I'm pleased with the goal I scored. It is the same feeling every time one gets onto the scoresheet. I'm not necessarily going there with a goal in mind, what comes first is getting to play well. It doesn't matter who scores on the day as long as we win the game."





Kickoff is at 15:30 at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny, nicknamed "le Félicia", named after the first president of the country, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, and is located in the commune of Le Plateau. The stadium has a capacity of 45 000.
