CAF CL: ‘We have a chance next Sunday’ – Medeama boss Tanko
Medeama lost to the five-time champions on Sunday afternoon at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa, with the DR Congo side scoring in the 88th minute to pick up a vital advantage.
Medeama Sporting Club's head coach, Ibrahim Tanko, remains optimistic about his team's prospects in the CAF Champions League, despite their first-leg preliminary round defeat to TP Mazembe. The DR Congo side emerged victorious on Sunday at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa, thanks to a goal scored in the 88th minute, giving them an edge going into the second leg.
While Medeama had moments to challenge Mazembe, they ultimately fell short, leaving the Ghanaian team disappointed. Tanko acknowledged their missed opportunities, stating that they would have scored if given the chance. However, he emphasized that football requires resilience and the ability to bounce back. Although disheartened by the home loss, Tanko expressed confidence in his team's chances, noting that they pushed hard in the second half to secure a goal.
He reaffirmed that they still have a second opportunity on Sunday to rewrite the narrative and advance to the next stage of the qualifiers. Medeama now aims to capitalize on this opportunity and make their mark in the continental club competition.
