The Port Harcourt club were held to a 0-0 draw by the Burkinabes in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup second round tie
“Well it was a good game,” Eguma said in a short video posted on the club’s X handle.
“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. READ ALSO:
