TP Mazembe midfielder Solomon Asante has expressed disappointment at his club's inability to reach the Group stage of the CAF Champions League.The Congolese giants were booted out of the competition 3-2 on aggregate despite winning 1-0 at home to South African side Orlando Pirates on Sunday. Asante, one of five Ghanaians in the books of the Lubumbashi-based side, laments the Ravens inability to achieve the goal."We are not very happy because we wanted to get into the money zone but we are out and it is rather unfortunate," the Ghana international told Joy sports."Last year at Berekum Chelsea we managed to reach the money zone but this season at Mazembe we couldn’t and we are all very disappointed but we are encouraging ourselves because that’s the nature of the game."TP Mazembe by virtue of their exit from the Champions league will now drop to the Confederation Cup which is Africa’s second tier club competition.
