NEC FC's assistant head coach, Bosco Dudu, lamented his team's defensive shortcomings and the early goal they conceded during the match.
"We prepared well, but the dynamics changed when we conceded the first goal. Goals alter game momentum and disrupt strategies," Dudu said.
"Before we could recalibrate, we conceded an own goal, so mounting a comeback became difficult."
"We take responsibility for the result; we were defensively subpar, and that's an area we intend to fortify. In the second half, we performed better but failed to capitalize on our opportunities," Dudu added.
