Rahimo coach, and technical adviser Firnin Sanon, has admitted that his team lost to a far better and experienced Enyimba side in the Preliminary Round of the 2019/20 CAF Champions League, adding that early dismissal of their striker was their major setback in the match vc’sports. sports.blog reports

Sanon averred that the early expulsion of their talismanic striker, Zonon Issouf, was the turning point in their 5-0 defeat in Aba

He further laments that Enyimba goalkeeper, Theophilus Afelokhai committed a penalty foul when he allegedly tripped an onrushing attacker, an incident he believed could have earned the goalkeeper a red card also.

We are a very young team, participating in the continental football for the first time,” Sanon said after the match.

“We came here to learn from our bigger brothers, Enyimba. We have no worries losing, but the 5-0 scoreline is too devastating.”
