Speaking to Graphic, Ofori said his team players let him down, leading to him failing to block those two goals. Ofori stated that his focus is now on the upcoming second match.
“The ball was bouncing in front of me. And the ball was also going far away from me. So, I needed to stretch and just direct the ball to the side. Unfortunately, my players were not there to block. It happens in the game, and we need to concentrate and focus on the second game. That’s the most important thing.”
