Head Coach of Medeama Sporting Club, Evans Adotey, has rued the impact of injuries, on his side’s inability to register a bigger first leg lead in their CAF Champions League qualifier.
The Yellow and Mauves beat Nigerian side Remo Stars 1-0 in the first leg of their CAF Champions League encounter, at the Cape Coast Stadium.
However, Adotey was expecting a much bigger scoreline per his team’s game plan.
“Our game plan was to go direct, and by that, I mean we planned to go all out to attack.
“It didn’t work in the first half, and we thought of continuing in the 2nd half, but injuries came in and upset our style.
“We were forced to alter our style due to the forced substitutions,” he said.
Despite the slim margin, the former Karela United boss is positive his side can get the needed result in the return leg.
“All is not lost. They came and lost 1-0, so we can still go there and win or draw,” he added.
Medeama will take the one goal lead to Nigeria in next Sunday’s second leg, hoping to progress to the next round.
