The Angolan side are 90 minutes away from a berth in the Caf Champions League final
COMMENT
Primeiro de Agosto are 90 minutes away from becoming the first Angolan side to reach the Caf Champions League final, and will be quietly confident they have the character to get past Esperance de Tunis.
The Angolan heavyweights have ridden their luck at times during this year’s campaign, and finally appear set to make up for the oil-rich southern African nation’s lack of success in continental competition.
Angola’s teams have been to this stage before, of course, with Petro Atletico being defeated by Mamelodi Sundowns on penalties in the 2001 semi-final, but Agosto have a 1-0 advantage after the first leg.
