“We are performing better than what the log is saying in terms of points and you will see it soon.

“Today we collected one point away, we have to be positive. It’s one point that will help us continue but I know that this is not a nil-nil performance but this is football it [drawing games] happens but we have to avoid it to happen too frequently.

“I have a feeling that we were in full control of the game in the early stages. The amount of interruptions, I am not used to saying anything about it but I think today was too much, affecting our rhythm. 

“Their goalkeeper [Veli Mothwa], I think was injured the whole 90 minutes. I hope he’s getting better.

“In the end, these types of scenarios are not good for football. In the end we got five minutes extra time in the first half and six minutes in the second half.” He elaborated.
