Despite a 1-1 draw against Medeama Fc played in Ghana yesterday, the chance to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League is still in the hands of Yanga
The Citizen's calculations are now to ensure that six points are available in the next two matches at home against Medeama and CR Belouizdad
If Yanga wins those two matches, will reach eight points which will undoubtedly take Wananchi to the two positions at the top before the final game against Al Ahly
Yesterday Yanga had a good chance to win against Medeama but once again it became clear why it is not easy to win away from home in African football
If there was VAR, the goal scored by Nickson Kibabage in the second half would have been legal but Medeama probably wouldn't have finished with 11 players on the field, there was a red card for the right defender who made a bad tackle on Kibabage in the first half
The referees did not handle the game well, many of their decisions gave the home team an advantage even with contested balls that Yanga's defenders were legally winning
Coach Miguel Gamondi was successful in his match plan as Yanga played with great caution, there were not too many mistakes in the defensive line while Yao and Kibabage were used properly to attack from the sideline
Yanga should prepare well to ensure they wins the next two matches at home as those six points could be enough to send the Citizens to the quarter finals
