Simba SC coach Dimitar Pentev basically admitted his squad cannot finish to save their lives after losing 2-1 to Stade Malien in Bamako, which marks their second straight loss in CAF Champions League Group D. The Tanzanian club sits dead last in the group after also dropping their opener 1-0 to Petro Luanda at home, and Pentev said they keep generating chances but just brick everything when it counts.
Midfielder Neo Maema said it hurts to watch them concede early goals against Malien, and he wants the team to treat these losses as a wake-up call since Simba is supposed to be a big-time club. They have four matches left when the competition starts back up next year, and they probably need at least three wins to stay alive in the knockout race, but their home games are going to be make-or-break situations at this point.
