Racing take narrow edge over Africa Sport (07.03.2005)
M.E.
Racing Bafoussam managed an important 1-0 win over visiting Africa Sport Abidjan in the first leg round 16 of the African Champions League.
Substitute Aniort Takoudjou’ lousy drive from about 25 metres unbelievably became very tricky for goalkeeper Roland Sadia to collect early in the second half for the lone goal of the day.
It was not the best of chances for Racing, but it turned out to be their winner in a game of equal strength, played in front of about 3000 fans in Douala’s Reunification Stadium on 3 march.

I have to praise my players very well for their performance this afternoon. Because of poor preparation it was not easy for them to play this kind of high level game. In the last 30 minutes they were completely finished. This was not strange considering our preparation.
You can not prepare for a Champions League game by just doing one training session per day in Bafoussam. Their output was very normal. You can’t hold on for 90 minutes with the kind of training we had. I can only encourage them to.
