Dynamos leave for the Esperance decider

Zimbabwe's current champions Dynamos are expected to leave Harare this afternoon for Tunisia for their biggest test yet in the Caf Champions League where they will take on defending Champions Espérance in the first leg of the second round qualifier on Saturday.

DeMbare, whose trip is funded by their sponsors BancABC, will travel through South Africa and Germany.

Dynamos face a tough challenge against Espérance who won both matches in their last meeting in 2010 and won the Cup last year.

The winner of this two-legged affair gets a berth in the money - spinning mini-league phase.

Dynamos got a timely boost with their victory over Mambas on Sunday having suffered a morale-shattering defeat to Monomotapa in a league match as well as the Independence Trophy exit.

A win will always be the target but realistically, if Dynamos can snatch a point and at worst if defeat can be limited to the barest minimum with an away goal, they will have something to fight for in the return match which will be played two weeks after the first.
