Ghana's bronze medalists coach in the men football event at the 8th All Africa Games, Ralph Zumdick, has said that winning penalty kicks is all about luck.
Zumdick said today in Calabar that Ghana was merely lucky to have won the bronze after a penalty shoot-out against the opponent, Zambia.
Zumdick who expressed happiness over the feat of his team during the post match conference said he was happy with his boys.
"The boys did well. We are looking forward to grooming them for future tournaments," Zumdick added.
In his own reaction, Zambia's Assistant Coach, Simata Simata, blamed the defeat of his side on lack of concentration at the last minute of the game.
Simata said his team had a lot of work to do in the area of penalty kicks.
The Zambian coach who congratulated the Ghanaians for lifting the bronze medal, however, said his boys scored 70 per cent in performance.
"I'm very satisfied with the performance of the team," Simata stressed.
Rating the teams in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the Technical Adviser of Wikki Tourists Football Club of Bauchi, Charles Bassey, said Ghana was more skillful than Zambia.
Bassey added that the Zambian team lacked the stamina and determination to sustain the Ghana.
He, however, maintained that the standard of play was okay, adding that it was almost a balanced game.
Bassey added that the Zambian team needed experience and good training, stressing that both teams had potentials within the African context.
