NAIROBI, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Nasr Athletique de Hussein Dey Club of Algeria on Monday vowed to beat their Kenyan rivals Gor Mahia in Algiers on Saturday after the Kenyan side upset Hussein Dey 2-0 at home on Sunday to creep back to the top of Group D in their CAF Confederation Cup.
Speaking in Nairobi, Hussein Dey coach Meziane Ighil said it will not be a walk in the park for the Kenyan Premier League champions when they visit Algiers on Saturday.
"I blame the injury and early substitutions for the loss. But mark my words, it is a debt. When you come to Algeria you will see our real face," warned Inghil.
"The Hussein Dey club management has written an official complaint to the match commissioner and to Confederation of African Football (CAF) because the law stipulates that the home team is responsible for providing local transport and a training ground. Gor Mahia did not do their part," the Algerian team complained.
With Zamalek of Egypt dropping points again after a 1-1 draw against Petro Atletico of Angola, the Kenyan side has a great chance to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time in the club's history.
Gor Mahia are now topping Group D with six points from three matches. Hussein Dey are second with four points, the same as Petro Atletico, while Zamalek are bottom with two points.
Gor Mahia coach Hassan Oktay said he will take the challenges.
"I am not fluent in Arabic but during the game I saw people coming to the bench and saying things like 'you are coming to Algeria! You are coming to Algeria!' and I didn't understand why they were saying that," Oktay said.
