“Burkina Faso are a very physical side and we tried to match them for power against my instructions,” the coach explained.
“We have five days to prepare well for the game against Cote d’Ivoire, which we have to win by more than a goal to reach the next round.
“We share the pains of the fans because we ought not to lose to Burkina Faso, but they should continue to believe in the team and support us.
“We will forge ahead.”
The Flying Eagles will take on Cote d’Ivoire in their next game in the competition next week Thursday.
