Nsoatreman FC’s hopes of advancing to the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup suffered a significant setback on a fateful day at the Accra Sports Stadium. The Ghanaian side faced off against CS Constantine in the first leg of their playoff tie, but it was the Algerian visitors who left with a crucial advantage.
The match got off to a disastrous start for Nsoatreman FC as Zakaria Benchaa struck twice in the opening 27 minutes. The Constantine forward’s goals, scored on the 11th and 27th minutes, left the home side reeling.
Despite a spirited effort, Nsoatreman FC couldn’t find a way back into the game, and the 2-0 defeat has left them with a mountain to climb in the return leg. To progress, they must now win by at least 3-0 in Algeria, a daunting task against a formidable opponent on their own turf.
The loss was met with disappointment from the Nsoatreman FC faithful, who had packed the Accra Sports Stadium in hopes of cheering their team to victory. Instead, they were left to ponder what might have been, and the difficult challenge that lies ahead.
