Dempo's last chance to create history

Dempo Sports club made history by becoming the first Indian club to make the semi-finals of the AFC Cup, but Dempo have one last chance to take a good shot at a bigger slice of history. The Goan giants take on Lebanese side Safa in the second leg of their AFC Cup semi-final at Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad on Tuesday, and coach Armando Colaco admits that their last 1-0 defeat to the Lebanon side will not have any impact on the players.
Amando colaco said, We watched the videos of their matches, they are a good side. We have played them earlier and I know that if the players play to their potential then we will definitely win the match, For all practical purposes, Dempo have a fair shot at going one step further, as playing the home leg second has always been an advantage in home-and-away formats.
The players are gearing up for the match tomorrow and they just want to prove a point. They are focused and if score an early goal then we have a chance to make it to the finals. Though we lost the first leg but the players are not demoralized, Colaco added. Injury is a cause of concern for Dempo coach as striker Ranty Martins and mid-fielder Roberto Mendes Silva are likely to take the field as substitute.
Dempos line up seems to be a strong one with India defender Mahesh Gawli leads a well-knit back-four that includes the impressive Samir Naik, while left-winger Nicolau Borges is one of the most exciting players in the I-League. With a defeat in back of his mind Armando Colaco says that there will be a few changes as far as their strategy and formation goes.
