The hero of the match was goalkeeper Abdul Manaf Nurudeen, who made a crucial save from a penalty kick by M’bala Nzola in the 27th minute. Despite his efforts, the overall performance of Otto Atto’s team was mixed, with some players stepping up to the challenge while others struggled on the field.
In terms of player ratings, Abdul Manaf Nurudeen scored a 6.5 out of 10 for his outstanding performance in goal. However, players like Kingsley Schindler, Ibrahim Sulemana, and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku received lower ratings of 4 out of 10 for their lackluster contributions.
Ransford Konigsdorffer fared even worse with a rating of 3.5 out of 10. Substitutes Nuamah and Bukari failed to make an impact on the game after coming on in the 80th minute.
