Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker says the team needs to quickly forget their 1-0 Betway Premiership defeat against Magesi FC on Saturday as they prepare to host Zamalek in the first leg of their Caf Confederation Cup quarterfinal.
Barker could not hide his disappointment after the league defeat and felt his third-placed side should have at least earned a point against 11th-placed Magesi at Seshego Stadium outside Polokwane.
Stellies switch focus to continental football with their home leg at Cape Town Stadium, where they will look to take a step towards reaching a Confed semifinal in their first continental campaign.
Barker said the clash against Magesi, who have won four of their last five league clashes as coach Owen Da Gama, who arrived in late December, has steered his side out of the relegation zone.
We have a big match coming up and a lot more to play for in the league, Barker said.
