Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker feels the pressure shifts to Zamalek after his team earned a well-deserved goalless draw in their first-leg CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final at Cape Town Stadium on Wednesday.
In what has been a glorious couple of days for South African club football, after Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates earned victories in the CAF Champions League, Stellenbosch also showed they deserve a place at the dining table of the continents elite football clubs by holding the Egyptian giants scoreless.
Barkers charges now head to the tip of North Africa with a genuine chance of advancing to a first-ever continental semi-final in next Wednesdays second leg.
The main objective was always to go to Cairo having a chance, Barker said after the first-leg stalemate.
We didnt want to go sort of dead and buried.
