In the first game against US Monastir which was played in Tunisia, Yanga lost 2-0, all due to free kicks
Yesterday Coach Nasreddine Nabi changed his two central defenders starting Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto and Ibrahim Bacca instead of Yannick Bangala and Dickson Job
In recent matches, Nabi has returned Bangala to the midfield area while Job was missing in yesterday's game, his place was taken by Bacca
All the players fought to keep goalkeeper Djigui Diarra safe, but Bacca did a special job that led to his first start in the Confederations Cup this season
Bacca was a leader in playing headers as he won five of the seven balls he fought against Monastir players
It was not surprising to see that Monastir failed to break through Yanga defense because their biggest weapon is high balls that Yanga players tried not to cause fouls near the goal or corner but even the one they hit was well dealt by Baccca and Mwamnyeto
Nabi has continued to demonstrate his good work in the technical bench, strengthening the standards of all players
Now Yanga's central defense is in the safe hands of Mwamnyeto, Job and Bacca while Mamadou Doumbia is waiting for his time
