Ahli boss Manuel Jose believes that Zamalek are capable of overturning their trailing against Club Africain and advance to the CAF Champions League last 16.

Zamalek succumbed to a 4-2 first-leg defeat in Tunisia on Sunday, with pundits doubting the prospect of a comeback, given the poor display shown by the Egyptian league leaders.

However, Jose seems confident that his team’s arch-rivals still have a chance in the return leg two weeks later.

“I watched the Zamalek-Africain match and I think the Egyptian team can win by more than two goals in the return leg,” the Portuguese told FilGoal.com.

Jose’s men claimed a 2-0 victory over South African champions Supersport United, who will host the return leg in Polokwane in two weeks’ time.
