Ghanaian midfielder James Kotei has expressed delight in being part of history with Tanzanian giants Simba FC, after helping the club reach their first ever quarter finals in the CAF Champions League.
Simba FC defeated AS Vita Club of DR Congo to progress to the last eight of the competition following a last minute goal from Clatous Chama.
"This is the doing of the Lord and is marvelous in our sight," an excited Kotei posted on Twitter. "Proud to be part of this history," he added.
Clatous Chama scored in the final minute Saturday to snatch a CAF Champions League quarter-finals place for Simba Sports Club, the first Tanzanian side to achieve the feat.
Simba finished second place in Group D behind Al Ahly of Egypt.
Zambian Chama has a knack of snatching crucial late goals, he netted one minute from time to squeeze Simba into the group phase at the expense of Nkana FC from Zambia.
Vita Club, who had fired five unanswered goals past Simba in Kinshasa two months ago, were first to score in Tanzania with Francy Kasengu finding the net on 13 minutes.
Mohammed Husseini equalised nine minutes before half-time and the teams remained deadlocked until 27-year-old Zambian winger Chama struck.
This is the doing of the Lord and is marvelous in our sight ????
Proud to be part of this history ????.
