Panorama player Imaan Rigney said the team went into the match wanting all three points, but let a good position slip through a lack of composure. “My game perspective, I feel like we could have done much better,” said Rigney. “We came in with the mentality of, we want to win, but unfortunately, there were a few mistakes and we doubted it throughout.” She added that the team lifted their performance after the break and could learn from those mistakes to come back stronger.

For Cosmo Titans Ladies coach Collen Mosese, the result was hard to take, given how much of the game his side controlled. “I can say I’m very much disappointed because we were controlling the game and we missed a lot of chances,” said Mosese, “but at the end of the day, we have to accept that it’s part of the game. We win as a team, we lose as a team.” He noted that his side created numerous opportunities to win the match, but failed to capitalise on them.

Mosese said his message to the players during the game was simple: relax, and let the football do the talking. “During coaching, I told them to relax,” he said. “Win the game, play their normal football without any pressure, because the more you play under pressure, the more you’re going to make a lot of mistakes.

“So, I told them just to relax and then play their normal game.” He noted that this shift in mindset allowed them to improve their performance.

Both sides will look to build on their second-half improvement when they return to action in their next fixtures.
