According to the Portuguese boss, "We lacked speed and failed to play our usual style against Dreams. There were some technical errors, and we didn't perform optimally.

However, we had plenty of opportunities that could have secured us a victory and determined the outcome of the match."

Gomes has already shifted his focus to the second leg in Kumasi, Ghana, which will take place next week.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't achieve a victory, and the first half of the semi-final match has concluded," he continued. "Now, we need to concentrate and perform well in the second half in Ghana."

He emphasized that the conditions in Ghana, such as the grass, humidity, and temperature, will be different, but he trusts his players to adapt.

"We expected more from our players in terms of our style of play. We had numerous chances but failed to score. However, I believe that we can find the back of the net in Ghana, even if it's just one goal."
