They had to plan for it and execute accordingly.

And it worked for them they managed to close them.

Genesis Mangombe said it was now water under the bridge as they are focus on their next game.

The team was desperate to win and fortunately they got it.

His opposite number Takesure “Deco” Chiragwi said we tried everything but it was not our day.

We pulled our socks in the second half but goals could not come.

The introduction of a new pair of legs, Kastigu and Takunda Benhura did not yield the desired result.
