AD Ceuta FC Overview

The South African contingent in South East Asia continues to shrink following the shock news that former Masandawana star has been released by Nam Dinh FC. The veteran forward becomes the second high-profile Mzansi star to leave the club in as many days, following hot on the heels of a former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder.

The Army coach Alexandre Santos has insisted that the continental crown is still within reach for his side despite their 1-0 disadvantage after the first leg at Loftus Versfeld. As they take the Pretoria side back to Rabat, he has a simple message for his team as they seek their first African trophy since 1985.

The Bafana Bafana international did not hold back in clarifying what the future would look like if it were entirely up to him, but the final decision rests with the Chloorkop hierarchy regarding his next step, as his loan spell edges towards its conclusion after a stellar campaign away from his parent club.

The Chloorkop outfit are within touching distance of continental immortality, but the Raja Club Athletic coach has cautioned the South African side that the real battle is only just beginning. While Masandawana head into the second leg brimming with confidence after their first-leg win at Loftus Versfeld, they must now endure a baptism of fire in North Africa if they are to cross the finish line and complete the job.
