Augustine Evans Adotey, the head coach of Medeama SC, underscored that his team confronted a potent and intricately structured Remo Stars squad.
In a fiercely competitive match at the Cape Coast stadium, the Yellow and Mauves clinched a 1-0 triumph over their Nigerian adversaries, courtesy of a goal in the initial half.
Commencing the game with vigor, the champions of the Ghana Premier League eventually capitalized on their dominance, as Jonathan Sowah successfully found the back of the net in the 22nd minute to establish the lead.
Reflecting on the encounter in a post-match interview, Adotey remarked, "Remo Stars were more fitter than us; we expected them to defend and hit with the counter attack but they attacked and attacked," he said in a post-match interview.
"We played against a very disciplined team. We did our best and we hope to complete the job in Nigeria," he affirmed.
The subsequent leg of the match is slated for the upcoming week at the Remo Stars stadium in Ogun State, Nigeria. Medeama will strive to secure progression to the ensuing round of the Champions League.
The triumphant side of this clash will then square off against the formidable Guinean contingent, Horoya AC, in the second stage of the preliminary round.
