MAS coach rues bad luck in Luanda

MAS coach was not satisfied with the result( 2-1 defeat) of his club in a  match against home side Interclube (Angola) in the first leg of the Orange CAF Confederation cup semi-final tie. Rachid Taoussi, argued that his team could have done better in this encounter but believes they were also unlucky in that defeat Speaking to reporters after the match at the Stadium on June 22, in Luanda, the coach said that when MAS was in the 39th minute advantage enjoyed several opportunities to score to extend the result. "It was hard for us because we fell asleep at the wrong time and paid the price for it with Interclube making the most of this to get a win from this match.  Interclube is a strong team and difficult to play against. We could have scored more goals. We had opportunities to do so, but failed. Now let's think and focus on the return leg in Morocco in a fortnight, " said Taoussi. According to the Moroccan coach, the game was balanced and emotional, but the MAS outplayed Interclube for almost the entire game. According to the technician, the fighting spirit of the hosts was admirable and they did not give up chasing a  result. "We could have avoided Interclube’s comeback but l also think we were unlucky to concede two goals at the end of the game infact in the last 10mins of the match we lost the game " concluded Taoussi.
