Esperance Of Tunisia In Accra For CAF Champions League Final

A contingent of 33 players and 10 officials of Esperance Club of Tunisia arrived in Accra on Friday, for the second-leg CAF Champions league match against Accra Hearts of Oak on Sunday.

Leading the delegation is the club's Vice President, Mamoud Babbou and 100 supporters.

Babbou told newsmen that his boys are psychologically and physically tuned up to win the match on Sunday.

Hearts won the first-leg match 2-1 in Tunis a fortnight ago.

He said they were really surprised they lost the first leg match and attributed it to the numerous chances they squandered in the first half.

"It is going to be a very difficult match and I hope the better side can win the game come Sunday," he said.

He said he is happy to be in the country for the first time adding that he hopes the warm reception they received on arrival would continue during their stay in the country.
