Enyimba chief coach, Usman Abdallah described their defeat to CARA Brazzaville of Congo in the Caf Confederation Cup tie as shocking but noted that they have taken positive notes from the humiliation ahead of their forthcoming games.
Goals from Racine Lobamba, Cabwey Kivutuka and Dicha Liema ensured the People’s Elephant lost their unbeaten start to the second tier African club competition but the tactician noted that they have learned their lessons and that there won’t be a repeat of such performance again.
“It was a surprise for us to be down by three goals within the spate of six minutes but we have reviewed everything that happened and are optimistic that the mistakes noticed in the game won’t happen again,” Abdallah told Goal.
“We used the halftime to analyse what actually happened in the first half and we told them to seal up the defense and tried to prevent further goals from coming in and they did exactly that. It was a bad day for us at the office and we apologize to Nigerians for the woeful performance.
“We promise an improved performance against Williamsville next week and in subsequent games."
