We had enough quality to create many opportunities and today we took them and scored three goals. I am really happy with our qualification. The fans were incredible today. I have worked in several countries and have never seen anything like that before. Their presence is key, and today they were the 12th man and they pushed us a lot. I hope they will always be there for us, he added. The post Marcel Koller: Al Ahly had enough quality to overcome Mazembe appeared first on KingFut .
