Dreams Football Club forward John Antwi says the team has gotten this far in the CAF Confederation Cup due to their "determination and hard work."
The Ghana Premier League side sealed a spot in the semifinals of the second tier of African club competition after their 3-2 aggregate win over Stade Malien.
Antwi scored twice in the first leg of the quarterfinal tie which Dreams won 2-1 in Bamako before settling for a 1-1 draw at the Baba Yara Stadium.
They become the first Ghanaian side to reach the last four of the competition since 2005 and Antwi has attributed their success to hard work and determination.
"I believe it’s the determination and hard work factor," he said when quizzed about the secret behind the team's performances by CAF's media team.
"Looking at how the lads keep working hard every day with the help of the technical team led by the experienced coach Abdul Karim Zito and also how the management and everyone in the club has supported the journey so far.
"Not forgetting the support and prayers from the fans across the nation and beyond."
The 31-year-old Ghanaian came home to represent his previous team Dreams FC in their inaugural continental club championship and has contributed to six goals and two assists so far.
Dreams will play Egyptian side Zamalek in the semis of the competition later this month.
