Tamale City captain Richard Kwabena Adjei was left inconsolable after his side's heartbreaking defeat to Debibi United in the Access Bank Division One League playoff at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The match, which served as a winner-takes-all clash for a spot in the Ghana Premier League, saw Tamale City take an early lead. However, a stunning hat-trick from Debibi United striker Kwadwo Antwi turned the game around, securing a 3-1 victory and promotion for the opposition.

For Adjei and his teammates, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow after a long and arduous campaign.

The Tamale City captain, who had led his side through the challenges of the season, was visibly emotional at the final whistle, with tears streaming down his face as the reality of the loss set in.

Tamale City had fought hard throughout the playoffs, but on the day, Debibi United proved too strong. The defeat means another season in the Division One League for the club, while their opponents celebrate historic promotion to the top flight.

For Adjei, the pain of coming so close yet falling short will linger, but his leadership and commitment to the team remain unquestionable. He will now have to rally his teammates for another push next season. ðŸ’”
