If there is a player who was blamed much after the first leg game to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League in Africa against Power Dynamos, then it was striker Jean Baleke
The game played in Zambia ended in a 2-2 draw but it is clear that Simba had a better chance to win
There are two open positions that if Baleke had used them, things would probably have been different
One of those chances was more open because he was left with the goalkeeper, but unlike the expectations of many, he did not manage to score
They were the chances that even Baleke himself had to speak and apologize to the Simba fans after the game, promising to correct those mistakes starting from the Premier League game against Coastal Union
That's what he did in the game against Coastal Union as he left with the ball after scoring three 'hat-trick' goals
Those who come before him now are the same Power Dynamos and this time he has promised that they will pick up many balls in their nets
"As a striker, my role is to score goals when I get a chance. I didn't do very well in the first game but this time I will make sure I use the opportunity to score or help my teammates score"
"I would like to thank the Simba fans who have continued to support me and support the team, we tell them to come to the stadium in large numbers on Sunday so that we can be happy together," said Baleke
Simba needs a win or a draw with no more than 2-2 goals to qualify for the group stage of the African Champions League
