Berekum Chelsea coach Hans van der Pluijm rued his team's bad luck after their 1-1 draw at home to Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League.

The Ghanaians managed a draw against the Egyptian giants in the Group B clash as Jordan Opoku cancelled out Oussou Konan Anicet's 43rd-minute opener at Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Van der Pluijm believes his team could have recorded victory with a bit more luck, but was content with avoiding defeat.

"We played a good game," the Dutchman told Goal.com Ghana after the game.

"Luck was not on our side. We played against a very strong team and I'm happy we didn't lose.

"We're still in the race, but we just have to take our next two games seriously. I believe in my boys and I know we can go further."

He added: "I'm happy with the support from Ghanaians and we are really encouraged by the prayers we are receiving from everyone as if it is the Black Stars playing."
