“I’m happy we won and that is the most important thing but if you are talking about the margin then we could have done better because we anticipated that we wanted to dominate play and score more goals unfortunately that didn’t happen due to poor decision upfront by my players,” said coach Dramani after the game
“We knew how they were going to play against us which is make use of the counter but we managed all that and were able to hold them but I must admit they played very well.
“We were very sure of dominating play but the poor decision didn’t help but I’m happy at least we won.
