I am Not Disappointed in Team’s Performance

Medeama SC captain,  Muntari Tagoe says he is not disappointed in his side’s performance against TP Mazembe despite succumbing to a 3-1 defeat in their opening group A encounter of the CAF Confederations Cup. 

The Mauves and Yellow started the game the brightest, shooting into the lead after just 4 minutes of play through midfielder Malik Akosua.

The Ghanaian side however, failed to hold on to the early lead as Zambian international Rainford Kalaba equalized for Mazembe with a header with Salif Coulibally increasing the tally on the stroke of half time.

Kalaba added his second and Mazembe’s third in the second half with an intelligent strike to seal the win for the home side.

But Muntari Tagoe insists his side was not disappointing in the game.

“That was not a disappointing performance”,  the experienced goal keeper said.

“We did our best but of course everyone knows we played against the whole of Africa.

“TP Mazembe is a big club and a strong side at home. So we even did well by stealing the opener.

“We are also strong at home and will beat any club that comes there to make it the next stage of the competition,” Muntari Tagoe added.Medeama’s next game in the competition will be at home to Algerian side MO Bejaiah on the 29th of June.
