The head coach of the senior Scorpions has expressed disappointment at the Friday’s 2-1 away loss to Mauritania at the Olympic Stadium of Nouackchott.
Bessad Khalil scored the two goals in the 35th and last minute of the game for the host side. Muzzy Carayol equalized for the scorpions in the 60th minute in his maiden appearance for the scorpions in a competitive game.
Speaking to Observer Sports in an exclusive interview, Ndong said he is hopeful for a win in Banjul on Tuesday because the ground is better.
The late goal was really dissapointing for the coach. “It is the worst way to lose a game and it is very difficult and painful. It is difficult to accept but we have to and move on.”
Also speaking to Observer Sports, captain Omar Colley said “We neither came here for a draw nor to lose because we know how crucial our group is. We came here for the three points.”
A disappointed looking Colley is hopeful that the scorpions can get a win in Banjul.
