Amokachi’s Finnish club spanked 8-0 in cup tie

By Daily Sports on April 1, 2016

Coach Daniel Amokachi-led JS Hercules were thrashed by Finnish top-flight club and Europa League qualifiers RoPS 8-0 in a fifth round cup tie.

However, Amokachi said it was not a bad outing for his third-tier league team as they came up against a top team.“After all, it was a good game for us. We played really well against a really good team. When playing Veikkausliiga runners-up and the Finnish representatives in Europe, the game’s strength and speed will show that we are just at different levels,” Hercules coach Daniel Amokachi conceded.

However, the former Everton star Amokachi still saw the positives from the trouncing.

“When we play like this against good teams, we can know how much we should improve our performance,” he said.

“RoPS did everything right. They kept the ball when the ball had to be held and pressured us they needed to.

“I think this tells us that we played against a top team.”
