After a defeat in their opening game against Brazilian giants Flamengo, the Tunisian capital’s club will look to bounce back against the Californian franchise, which boasts several high-profile players such as the French duo Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris, as well as Gabon’s Denis Bouanga.

Abdramane Konaté, a rising talent

Signed in the last summer transfer window from San, “the Young Elephant” has been one of the standout attractions for the “Blood and Gold” during the 2024-2025 season. Across 32 appearances in all competitions, he has registered 2 goals and 2 assists.

He made a notable impact coming off the bench in the second half against Flamengo, having started the match among the substitutes.
