”Our opponents also came with a tactical plan. They tried to attack us aerially and it paid off when they scored through a similar scenario after five minutes.This was our first time seeing them play but we adjusted appropriately after the early setback. We responded well even though the rain affected us because it limit us in terms of the options we could execute under such conditions.” he added citing the unfamiliar conditions in which the team played.
