Epac FC coach rues cup exit
Epac coach Audrey Makonyola was left ruing missed scoring opportunities after losing 1-2 to hosts Moyale Barracks in a 2016 Presidential Cup quarterfinal at Civo Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
“Moyale utilised their chances and we lost concentration at some point. We need to focus much on the league games,” Makonyola said.
Moyale coach Collins Nkuna said his charges played according to instruction “We struggled in the first half but we told the players to up the tempo of the game in the second half. Epac gave us tough time and it was a tense game,” Nkuna said.
