“And then Cotonsport reacted by bringing on Marie Mekong in and it was a good move because he added a little bit more intensity in their midfield. We struggled a little bit with their physicality but we will get better and we have to get better.

“A lot of my players are playing for the first time in the Champions League.

“Mailula, Ronwen Williams, Teboho Mokoena, Mothobi Mvala, Grant Kekana and Marcelo Allende are playing for the first time in this tournament.

“This is important experience they are gaining but we will definitely get better, we managed to beat a very good and physical side with a lot of technicality.

“The quality of the players came to the fore and I am very proud of their effort and congratulations to the technical team, this is good three points and we will get better.”
