MEDEAMA RAID BY AC LEOPARDS OF CONGO




Ghana’s sole rep in Africa Medeama SC on Sunday afternoon lost 2-0 to Congolese Champions AC Leopards at the Stade Denis Sassou Nguesso in Congo.

Two penalty kicks in each half ensured the Ghanaians lost 2-0 in the first league of the CAF Confederation cup play offs stage. 

The Mauves whom according to reports had greater percentage of possession went down in the 11th min after the Cameroonian referee spotted a foul in the 18 yard box of Medeama. 

The Congolese were however awarded a second penalty 10min later but they blew it away as the game ended 1-0 at the end of the first half.

The 2012 Champions were awarded a third penalty when the ball struck the hand of Medeama attacker Natheniel Asamoah after failing to clear the ball out of the penalty box in the 61st min.

The Takwa lads had their head coach Carlos Alberto Paullette sent off at the later stages of the game after complaining of bad officiating from the center referee and his assistants.

The loss means Medeama will now have to score at least three unanswered goals in the second league to ensure qualification into the group face.
