“We won our opponents because I changed my formation in the second half. I observed that our opponents were playing from the midfield and they choked the midfield. When we resumed from the second half, I came out with another new formation which pave way for our victory,” he said.

Sousdi confessed that their opponents are equally good and played better but noted that they were technically better to have won the pulsating tie.
