Legon Cities suffered a tough 2-1 loss to Nsoatreman in the FA Cup semifinals, with head coach Paa Kwesi Fabin attributing part of the defeat to the adverse weather conditions.
The match, which took place at the WAFA Park on Saturday, saw Apetorgbor Foster and Eric Osei Bonsu scoring early goals for Nsoatreman in the 35th and 38th minutes, respectively. Although Legon Cities managed to pull one back with a goal from William Kwaku Adjei in the 60th minute, it wasn’t enough to secure a victory.
Coach Fabin expressed his disappointment after the match, acknowledging the importance of the loss. “I feel sad because there are three outcomes in a game – lose, draw, and win. We lost today, but we will prepare for another game. Everybody goes into a game to win, but we conceded cheap goals and couldn’t come back,” he said. The coach also mentioned the rain as a factor in their defeat, noting that it played a role in Nsoatreman’s first goal as the keeper was slipping.
Despite the setback, Legon Cities is now focusing on their upcoming home league game against Accra Great Olympics. The team will look to regroup and bounce back from their FA Cup loss as they aim to secure a victory in their next match.
