Black Pirates captain, Nicholas Nkuna says that he is disappointed with the loss but it was a lesson for them to go and fix their mistakes.
“We approached the match as a friendly, and felt like we should not take it seriously, and that’s what costed us. We still have a lot of practicing to do, and we should also learn to take every match as a champions tournament, and give it our best, in that way we will be able to improve our soccer skills,” he said.

“So far I’m very with the progress made, and hope that this will continue with the coming generations,” said Manuel Rikhotso, organiser of the match.
