Speaking to the media Maxwell Konadu spoke about injuries being the cause of the loss.

“It is not about the goals we conceded. It is rather about how fit our players were. There was no time to recover properly for this important match but all the same, the boys managed. Some were carrying injuries but we managed to go through the match.

"Most of the players got injured in the first half but we did not have the opportunity to replace them. Isaac Twum, for instance, got injured in the warm up and he thought he could play with it. Unfortunately, we had to replace him.”
