Stellenbosch FC's players will be hoping to lasso some of that magic that is buried in the desert sand, the journeyed on Monday, whilst riding on camels back with them to the Cairo Stadium come Sunday where they will support giants Zamalek in their second leg CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final (kick-off 6pm).

With the tie deadlocked after the goalless draw at DHL Stadium in Cape Town last week, Steve Barker's charges are looking to make history by extending their maiden continental adventure.
