Democratic Republic of Congo wideman Yannick Bolasie believes the Leopards were unlucky to lose against Africa Cup of Nations hosts Egypt on Wednesday.
The Leopards hit the woodwork on two occasions before goals from Ahmed Elmohamady and Mohamed Salah inflicted a 2-0 defeat on Florent Ibenge’s side.
Speaking to Goal, Bolasie – who was a second-half substitute in Cairo – lamented the Central African nation’s missed opportunities against the Pharaohs, which resulted in their second defeat of the group stage.
“We had a lot of bad luck hitting the woodwork twice,” Bolasie told Goal.
