Ibrahim Tanko: Medeama “Should Have Won” Despite Hard-Fought Draw with Vision

The head coach of Medeama SC, Ibrahim Tanko, has insisted his side “should have won” after being held to a hard-fought stalemate by a resilient Vision FC, rueing missed chances that cost them maximum points. 

Coach Tanko believes it was a game of what could have been for the visitors, who dominated large spells but lacked the clinical edge to break the deadlock.

Medeama SC travelled to the Nii Adjei Kraku Park II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown to pick a 1-1 stalemate against Vision FC in their first games of the season.

The hosts scored through Zaidan Alhassan in the 8th minute before Kingsley Braye secured the much-needed equalizer for the visitors in the 47th minute.

Tanko, who suffered a disappointing exit from the CAF Champions League last week after losing 4-1 on aggregate to TP Mazembe, was left frustrated as his side did more than enough to secure a victory, despite being forced to share the spoils in a gripping encounter.

According to him, lessons have been learned as they shift focus to their next game.

“We created a lot of good chances, and if we had taken our chances, we would have won the game, but we go with the point and prepare for the next game,” he said at the presser after the match.

The Tarkwa-based club will tussle it out away with Dreams FC on September 23; they will host Basake Holy Stars and Port City on September 27 & 30, respectively, with all three games being played within seven days.
