Touchline
While the team’s offensive output was commendable, the defensive side occasionally let them down, as reflected in the 12 losses. Improving defensive consistency and reducing goals conceded in crucial matches could elevate their league standing. Additionally, fostering more draws or wins against top-tier teams would help solidify their mid-table position.
