The head coach of Medeama Sporting Club, Evans Adotey, couldn’t hide his excitement after helping the club secure a historic place in the group stage of the CAF Champions League.
The Mauve and Yellows overcame a late scare in their second leg against Guinean side Horoya as they sealed a 4-3 aggregate win.
The Ghana Premier League champions won the first leg 3-1 before losing the second game with a 1-2 scoreline.
After booking a group stage qualification, Adotey expressed his delight claiming he had achieved what he wanted.
“I am delighted because my mission here is fulfilled,” he said after the game on Saturday evening.
“Coming [into the game] 3-1 against Horoya this time wasn’t easy. Although we lost, I am delighted because we have gone past Horoya to the next round. A young Medeama side playing an experienced Horoya was not an easy task.
“We deserve applause,” he concluded.
Victory means they will now become the first Ghanaian club since Berekum Chelsea in 2012, to play in the group stage of the continental club competition.
