Coach Stanley Eguma has blasted his players following the 3-0 CAF Confederation Cup defeat to Diables Noirs.

Rivers United were defeated by the supposed weakest team in the Group, and Eguma believes his players were tactically indiscipline.

The Nigerian champions conceded three goals in the first half, had a penalty saved and a goal disallowed for offside.

Speaking on the game, Eguma said his players lost focus after conceding first goal.

“We never expected this result because we prepared for a better result but unfortunately, we got beaten 3-0.

“I’m not surprised because I knew they are a good side the scoreline did not reflect the standard of the game.

“You could see that in the first 30 minutes, the games were balanced and we got two corner kicks which shows that we are attacking, when we conceded the first goal my players lost concentration as a result of tactical indiscipline.

“We came out in the second half for goals, we got a lot of chances including a penalty but we lost them.

“This is not the end, we’ve had games to play, and we have to go back and prepare for ASEC Mimosa,” he said.
