Despite their 1-0 loss in the first leg in Pretoria, Koller stresses that Ahly still have a chance to advance to the final.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Koller praised his team's performance in the first half, particularly on the defensive end.

He acknowledged that the game was evenly balanced in the second half but lamented Ahly's failure to find the back of the net.

"We conceded a goal at the start of the second half, and although we tried to equalise, we were not successful," Koller stated.

"I believe we played well defensively in the first half, but the early goal in the second half was a setback.

“We attempted to score the equalizer, but our finishing lacked precision."

However, Koller remained optimistic about his team's chances in the upcoming home leg in Cairo.

He emphasized that Ahly still has an opportunity to overturn the defeat and vowed that they would give their best effort to secure a victory.

"We still have a chance in Cairo, and we will do everything we can to turn around our defeat," Koller concluded.
