“It’s just concentration, we need to get the players stronger mentally to be able to manage games when the match is almost over,” Finidi told Rivers United’s media.
“It’s not a physical thing about managing games, it’s just unfortunate how the goal was conceded.
“We came to Umuahia not to lose or maybe the players were not even sure if we can get a victory from this game but overall its a sad one.”
