“It’s very difficult to play against a team like that in a stadium like that. But I’m proud of our team because we fought hard and gave us a lot of chances. But it wasn’t our day. But we keep going.”
Umar also spoke about his health and recovery from the injury that sidelined him for more than nine months.
“I’m feeling good. I think I’m getting better little by little because I missed last season. The more I play, the better I get.” Umar added.
