"We also tried by all means to use the width of the pitch which forced their defense to move out of their positions leading to our second goal,but on our side our centre backs were too hesitant in most of the ariel situations which made them uncomfortable at the back".
"Especially the central defenders then the midfielders especially second half was giving the Zebras midfielders too much room to play,so we corrected that at half time and am happy with the result", said coach Ncube.
