My team suffered a penalty in the 90' so they managed to put the game to penalties. This look good as Sewe won the last 3 Ivorian Premier League.

Interesting story, I never would have considered the Ivorian League. What's your future goals, once you have won the African Champions League can you take the team any further?

Were did you find the Ivorian leagues also?

That's fair enough, well seeing as how they haven't won it since 1988 it sounds like it may be a bit of a challenge anyway! Good luck! I will be interested to see how it goes!
