Simba SC coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa is hopeful his side can overturn their four-goal deficit against Kaizer Chiefs in their Caf Champions League quarter-final second leg this past Saturday.

The Tanzanian outfit suffered a massive 4-0 defeat by Amakhosi in the first leg at the FNB Stadium through goals from Erick Mathoho, Leonardo Castro and a brace by Samir Nurkovic.

They will have a chance to overturn the four-goal deficit when they welcome Chiefs to the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on 22 May.

However, Gomes remains confident that his side can still overcome the Soweto giants and qualify for the semi-final of the continental competition.

‘I don’t know, anything can happen in football,’ Gomez told media after the match.

‘For sure, we are very disappointed, but we are alive, and we are breathing, and when you breathe, you have hopes, so we keep our minds on that.

‘It’s very important to believe that you can change the process but, for sure, if we want to do something good next week, we have to be aggressive, efficient and we don’t know what can happen in football.’
