Kinshasa, April 12th, 2021 (CPA).- AS V.Club of DR Congo left the Champions League of CAF (African Football Confederation) with a victory (3-1) in front of El Merreikh of Sudan, Friday at the Martyrs of Pentecost stadium, in a match of the 6th and last day of group A. From the kick-off, the green and black of the Congolese capital launched an attack on a beautiful combination, which ended, following a heel from Jesus Moloko Ducapel, with a strike in the closed angle defender Jacques Mangoba Iyadi (9th), a ball that goalkeeper Mohamed Mustafa had difficult to control. On a defensive error, Edjomariegwe Tony Omayarue (30th) managed to set the record straight (1-1), a score on which the two teams will return to the locker room. After the break, the Black Dolphins put their foot on the ball and obtained the second goal by Fiston Kalala Mayele (51st), on a perfect cross from Jérémie Mbuyi Kalenda, before definitively sealing the score on a counter-attack led by Ricky Tulengi (80th) following a Sudanese corner returned by the defense of AS V.Club. At the end of the meeting, the two coaches spoke to the press in these terms. Jean Florent Ibenge Ikwange from V.Club: « I am satisfied with the victory because my team wanted to play even if everything was not perfect. We have to think about four corners to get out of this 10th place that has been sticking to our skin for some time. We reach a certain level each season without being able to reach another level. As for my future, I’m still here until the end of the season and after that we’ll see with the committee if we can renew « . El Merreikh’s Englishman Lee Clark: “I’ve only been here three games, you have to not be naive especially when you play the group stage with the big clubs, and we have to keep working to reach their level. I can’t condemn my players, they still have to work a lot, we took a goal from a corner, a four-on-one counterattack, which we could avoid. I congratulate the V.Club team « .
