Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito has credited his team\u2019s surprising game plan for their impressive performance against Zamalek in the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final first leg.<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite being considered underdogs, Dreams FC managed to hold Zamalek to a goalless draw at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Ghana FA Cup champions displayed resilience and determination to tame the White Knights in front of a boisterous crowd.<\/p>\n

Dreams FC have drawn 0-0 with Zamalek in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Zito revealed that Zamalek were taken aback by their performance, considering Dreams FC\u2019s position in the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were surprised by our performance levels. When you look at our position in the league, it will give you a different impression about Dreams. They saw us as small boys but before they realized, they had to push and push but could not get it,\u201d Zito told JoySports.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the return leg, Zito plans to change their pattern of play to ensure a positive result. \u201cWe will not sit back like we did in the first leg because a 1-0 scoreline may not be ideal. We will both have chances but the advantage we have is that we are playing at home,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The return leg will take place at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, with Dreams FC aiming to reach the final of the competition.<\/p>\n

If successful, it will mark a historic achievement for the club, extending their record as the first Ghanaian side to reach the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup since 2004.<\/p>\n

The last time this milestone was achieved, Hearts of Oak and Kotoko faced off in an all-Ghana final, with the Phobians emerging victorious.<\/p>\n

Dreams FC\u2019s journey in the competition has been remarkable having exceeded expectations despite it being their debut season.<\/p>\n

After clinching the FA Cup title, they have defied the odds prevailing in every stage including the preliminary level where they edged, Milo FC and Kallon FC.<\/p>\n
