A huge clash tonight in the AFCON Round of 16, which promises to be a special occasion for all involved, and of course the salivating neutral on their settee/armchair.
Quite remarkably, Comoros are without a recognised goalkeeper due to COVID isolation rules, so will start with regular left back, Chaker Alhadhur, between the hallowed goalposts at the famous Olembe Stadium, Cameroon. With a potential capacity crowd of 60,000 roaring on the home side, the Indomitable Lions will certainly fancy their chances against the weakened Coelacantes.
Interestingly, Chaker Alhadhur isn't a player I have seen much of, despite the 5'9" 30 year old stand-in plying his trade with Ajaccio in France, who as we know are having a phenomenal season, riding high in Ligue 2. Only an outstanding season so far from Toulouse has kept L'ours from the coveted top spot. But we mustn't forget their two games in hand!!! How will they fare without Alhadhur in his famed wing back role, should Comoros progress against all the odds? All these questions - and more - will be answered tonight.
I personally cannot wait
