DR Congo based Ghanaian international Solomon Asante has revealed been left devastated by the surprised elimination of TP Mazembe from the money zone of the 2016 CAF Champions League.
The quick footed TP Mazembe talented forward failed to inspire the reigning CAF champions league holders into the group stages and has openly expressed his devastation at the setback.
The former Berekum Chelsea star forward missed out at the final hurdle for a place in the last eight after a dramatic 1-1 home draw with Wydad Athletic Club of Morocco to go out on a 3-1 aggregate.
The reigning Champions failed to overturn a 2-0 deficit in Morocco at the scary Lubumbashi Stadium in DR congo.
Solomon Asante, who remains one of the finest in the Mazembe set up, sumptuously set up Salif Coulibaly to set the stadium alive before leaving the pitch after 77 minutes.
The disappointed forward however revealed after the game, “It was one of the saddest days in my entire football career so far. We had all the chances but luck wasn’t on our side as defending champions and we missed out on the last eight place’s, Solomon Asante said after the game.”
Compatriot Yaw Frimpong and Daniel Nii Adjei both featured 90 minutes in the eventual 1-1 thriller.
