Africa-Press – Angola. The coach of 1° de Agosto, Filipe Nzanza, pointed out Wednesday, in Luanda, the expulsion of players as the cause of the defeat against Interclube, by 0-1, in the game of the 15th round of the National first division football (Girabola 2022/23).
Speaking to the press, at the end of the match, played at the 22 de Junho stadium, the coach said it was already difficult to play with 11 players – let alone with two less, as it happened, which complicated the intention of winning against the opponent.
By attributing some blame on the performance of referee Paulo Sérgio, for Filipe Nzanza he exceeded it by applying expulsion sanctions to players Isaac and Bonifácio, an attitude that “spoiled” his team’s game, culminating in defeat.
“The level of the match weighed a lot of responsibility on referee Paulo Sérgio, who entered nervous and made many mistakes. The situation influenced our team’s performance, which dictated the negative result, ”he said.
In turn, the coach of Interclube, Luís Gonçalves, highlighted the commitment of his players, stating that winning the three points is more important.
He recognized that it was a challenge in which there was dedication in the fight for victory, despite the opponent’s reply, who acted with two players less.
Still on arbitration, the Portuguese also admitted that he had some excesses, as well as the need for changes, so that they cannot harm the teams on the field.
