Didi Dramani believes conditions like altitude and turf were not favourable for the team, but they were tactically disciplined.
“The altitude was actually a big factor, even before the game started those of us who didn’t play were struggling for breath,” he said after the game.
“I will continuously congratulate them for fighting throughout. Many of them were also coming up with cramps because the pitch was not so good, so hard and they were also not enough energy because they were also not getting more oxygen.”

“We lost not because of tactical or physical conditions but because of the climatic conditions,” Dramani said in a post-match interview.
