We need to raise our game- Samartex President on Champions League exit.

President of Samartex 1996, Dr. Richard Nsenkyire, has called for his team to pick itself up after getting eliminated from the CAF Champions League.

He said this after Samartex lost 2-0 to Moroccan giant, Raja Casablanca in Morocco in the second leg of the second round of games in the continental competition.

Raja’s win came via goals from Marouane Zila in the 41st minute and Naoufel Zerhouni in the 89th.

Winning the second leg gave Raja a 4-2 on aggregate to progress to the third round after playing out a 2-2 draw in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.

In his speech delivered to the team after the loss, Dr. Nsenkyire encouraged his side to use the loss as a learning moment and improve for the future challenges.

Do not lose hope it is not the end of the world. The most important thing is we go back, we learn from our mistakes and make sure that we still stay competitive in such a league.

Samartex’s Champions League elimination comes on the back of fellow Ghana Premier League side, Nsoatreman Fc’s elimination from CAF Confederation Cup.
