Pluijm said his team needs outright victory in the first leg and board a flight back home victorious.

"I have told players to gear up for the match as if it is the final", said Pluijm.
He said Yanga intends to set up new benchmark in terms of football achievement particularly in international platform across the continent.
The coach said to his players that they should put up an impressive show with a view of attracting football agents so that they can market themselves.

He said the previous two premiership matches that saw his side earn just a point has been inspirational to set up new strategies.
The club’s physician Nassor Matuzya confirmed that there is no casualty in his Port Louis-bound squad as they entire line -up has attained full fitness for the showdown.
He said the team is boarding a flight to Port Louis with a view of weather acclimatization as a way to ease players’ tension during the match.
