Medeama SC Coach, Tom Strand attributed his side’s defensive frailties which led to their 3-1 defeat against South African side Mamelodi Sundowns to fatigue.
The Ghanaian side were 1-0 up until the 81st minute, but three goals in six minutes from Leonardo , Khama Billiat and Cuthbert Malajila turned the tie on its head.
And speaking to reporters after the game, Swedish Trainer Strand, said the defeat was a painful one.
“It was very painful to see this happening in the last minutes but still I think we played a very good game today”, he said
“Unfortunately we got a little bit tired and got out of our positions and let Mamelodi get too much space to play in and they came back into the game.
“We shouldn’t have let them come back into the game but it happened today, and it’s football, it happens”, Tom Strand added.
However, the young tactician also opined that fatigue and playing at altitude was a contributor to their demise.
“It felt like we got really tired in the last ten minutes and we started to play in a different way that I don’t want to play, so we’ll work on that”, Strand said
