Ibrahim Joshua scored on his debut to give Tusker a lead that they could not hold on to for two minutes
Tusker FC's Tanzanian import Ibrahim Joshua is upbeat ahead of the return leg against Djibouti's Arta Solar 7 on Saturday at Nairobi.
Tusker managed to get an important away point as they held Arta Solar to a 1-all draw with Ibrahim Joshua scoring the opening and Alain Traore finding the equalizer for the hosts a minute later.
Ahead of the decisive game on Saturday, the Tanzanian, who joined the club in the current transfer window, says that it will be a do or die affair adding that the Brewers will go for a win in this game and nothing else.
"We will prepare ourselves better for the return leg. At home, it will be a do-or-die affair, nothing else. We went to their place and got a draw but at home we have to win. We have to show them who we are. They have a good team, but we are also good," Joshua said.
Ibraaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Dang!!!! 1-0

Joshua was also thankful for scoring a goal in his debut game, noting that it was something that he wanted to do to kickstart his stay with the FKFPL Champions on a high.
At his unveiling, the former Ken Gold player promised goals at his new club, affirming that he was looking forward to continuing his goal-scoring exploits.
Before joining Tusker, Joshua scored 21 goals in 19 games for Ken Gold, an impressive run that saw him attract the attention of Robert Matano and his bench to go for his signature.
"I thank God for giving me the opportunity to do something that I really wanted to do at my new team. I am very happy. I pray that I will continue with the same performance. The match was tough but teamwork gave us the result we got though we wanted all three points, but that is what God saw fit for us," he added.
Joshua joined Tusker together with his compatriot Kalos Kirenge and both got the starting nod from Matano on Saturday.
