Al-Yarmouk coach Dr. Fouad Al-Oudi attributed the loss to a short period of preparation which caused the team to perform physically during the course of the shooting.
"Most of the players in the team, especially the experienced, did not reach the required readiness and therefore did not provide the required performance," he said adding "We await their arrival to the optimum readiness in the rest of the tournament stages."
