Ahead of the crucial CAF Confederations Cup clash against Academica do Lobito, Dreams FC coach Karim Zito candidly acknowledges a key issue affecting his team: a lack of experience leading to conceding goals.
As the spotlight focuses on Dreams FC in their upcoming match against Angolan opponents at the Baba Yara Stadium, Zito points out the challenge his team faces. Despite their victory in the third group game against Academica do Lobito, securing a 3-2 away win at Estádio 11 de Novembro in Luanda, Zito emphasizes that the goals conceded were a result of avoidable mistakes caused by the team's inexperience.
Dreams FC took an early lead with a goal from youngster Abdul Aziz Issah, but Academica do Lobito quickly responded, equalizing through Nelo four minutes later. Veteran striker John Antwi then scored in the 58th minute to restore Dreams FC's lead, and Gael Aholou Avocevou sealed the victory in the 88th minute. However, the home team managed to reduce the deficit in stoppage time through Samuel Cachimbombo.
Zito reflects on the goals conceded, stating, "The unfortunate side of our story is all goals scored against us were preventable; we can stop them."
“He attributes these goals to little mistakes arising from the team's lack of experience, citing examples from past matches to highlight the learning curve needed to address the issue.”

“When you look at the second goal out of nothing the goalkeeper made a mistake then it was a goal when you look at the rate at which we are been scored I will say it is about lack of experience”
