Undefeated so far in the AFC Cup, Safa coach Samir Saad was a confident man and expressed his surprise on reaching the semi-finals in their debut year in the premier competition.
Lebanese club Safa have been in top form in the AFC Cup and are coming off a 5-0 thrashing of Malaysia’s Perak in the second leg of the quarterfinals.
“The experience of playing the AFC Cup has been very good for us. It is our first time participating so we did not think that we would get this far in he tournament because we didn’t know what to expect when the tournament began,” said Saad.
Safa coach was optimistic on his team’s chances of making it to the finals of the AFC Cup.
“We haven’t lost a single match so far in our run and I’m hoping that we can maintain that record as I’m looking forward to getting into the final.
“I respect Dempo a lot and they truly deserve to be in the semi-final although the pressure will be on them because they are a goal down in the tie.”
Safa are to miss midfielder Amer Khan due to suspension.
