Asante was too poisonous for us - FUS Rabat coach Jamal Sellami
FUS Rabat coach Jamal Sellami has attributed his
side’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to TP Mazembe in
the CAF Confederation Cup solely to the form of
Solomon Asante.

The 22-year-old wing-man exposed the Moroccans’
defence in the 6th minutes world class finish and
set up two other goals for Mbwana Samata and
Cheibane Traoré in the 12th and 55th minutes
respectively.

Asante raided a well-composed FUS defence with a
terrifying ease, causing more havoc and problems
for the 2010 Confederation Cup title winners.

FUS were reduced to a grotesque side that show
little quality against their Congolese hosts at
the Kamalondo City in Lubumbashi – the agent, a
pocket-size wing-wizard who was continuously at
work all afternoon.

Though Jamal Sellami, the FUS coach had a plan in
place to keep the Ghana international at bay but
he was always elusive on the flanks causing them
to resign to the fate of the afternoon.

And the former Moroccan international says Solomon
Asante was solely responsible for his side’s
defeat at the Stade du TP Mazembe.

“We mapped a strategy to handle him but he was
too difficult. Anytime he went with the ball with
was difficult to catch him because he is quick and
nimble-footed and there was nothing we could
do,” he said after the game in Lubumbashi.

Ghanaian duo Richard Kissi Boateng and Gladson
Awako also featured in the game for Mazembe who
have assumed leadership of Group B after the win.
