Young African head coach Nasreddine Nabi has rallied the wanainchi to cheer on the team the entire game, even when his side doesn't have the ball.
"I would like to thank our fans for the support you have given us from the start until today,” Nabi stated in the pre-match press briefing.
“I ask you tomorrow, let's cheer for all the 90 minutes even when the team doesn't have the ball.”
"Let's not be silent; let's fight to cheer and give our players strength because this is not an easy game as many think,” Nabi added.
Both clubs will be playing in the competition's semifinals for the first time ever; Young Africans forward Fiston Mayele has been in top form, scoring five goals and adding an assist as they reached the semis.
Aucho has featured in all but one game in the campaign, coming off the bench twice in the eight games the Tanzanian giants have played.
