Aduku, however, backed his team to bounce back in their next two matches.

“We did not come to the party today, we did not play. But all the same we have two more games to play, we will get it right. Of course, we are going to go through [to the knockout rounds]. I am confident. We did not play today,” Aduku was quoted by FIFA.com.
