The defeat, which came following an uncharacteristically subdued performance from the team, saw Jumbo Giants drop from fifth to ninth position on the MCM Estates-Northern Region Soccer League log table. After 18 rounds of action, Jumbo Giants have collected 26 points and are eight behind log leaders Black Rhinos, who have 34.

But having taken charge of three wins over Zambezi Gas & Coal, MWOS U19, and Marere FC, as well as a draw with FC Oden away, in his first four matches before the loss to Highrange, Tutani is confident his side will bounce back in their upcoming matches.
“It’s our first home defeat since I joined the club. But I am not saying that we are throwing in the towel. We will soldier on,” said Tutani.
“We will go back to the drawing board, we will work on the grey areas, and I hope we will correct them and move forward. It is another day which is bad in the office. We are down, but not out.” he continued.
Next up for Jumbo Giants is an away match against struggling Shamva Mine on Saturday. Shamva Mine are deep in the relegation zone and currently occupy 21st position with 17 points.
