“Well it was a good game,” Eguma said.
“We had planned to win the match but unfortunately for us we were held to a draw. It was a great performance for the players, to leave Yamoussoukro without conceding.
“The players showed doggedness throughout the encounter. We failed to convert our chances but we will go back and work on that so as to have the chance to progress to the group stage of the competition.”
The second leg will take place on October 1 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt.
