According to sports journalist Owuraku Ampofo, Dreams FC's first-leg win makes them the first Ghana Premier League side to win a knockout tie in the CAF Confederation Cup since Goldfields (now AshGold) in 2001.
The team has already arrived in Ghana to prepare for the return fixture on April 7 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Sports analyst Lawrence Baidoo exclusively told YEN.com.gh that "The game in Mali gave Dreams FC a fair idea of the importance of getting an away win in a knockout game, and they will be looking to build on that performance in the return leg."
"If they can get the fans behind them on Sunday, they most likely get a better result and advance to the semis", he added.
