The Kaukau boys displayed a massive performance in the match but missed a lot of chances before having a 6-minute party in the second half to score three goals but Taniel Mhango’s late consolation goal could not do any harm.
In the post-match interviews, Davie Muyombe, an interim coach at Baka City, said his team will not be relegated this season as they will try to pick up in the next games.
“We still have time to pick up,” he said. “We haven’t started well this season, we need to see where things are not going well. We still have time to pick and am not doubtful about that.”
Muyombe says injuries are affecting his team
Baka City displayed a dismal performance in their heavy defeat to Tigers for them to become the only team that have suffered five defeats this season. Their performance was different from their 2-1 defeat to the defending Champions.
Interim Coach, Muyombe said injuries have affected the progress of the team as he missed six players in their recent game prompting him to use irregular players. The Coach blamed the keeper for letting in two “silly” goals.
“We did not play well maybe as we did two weeks ago against FCB Nyasa Big Bullets but I think it’s because we had changes to the team due to 6 injuries that we are having and also we let in three silly goals I think that’s what cost us today.” Said Muyombe.
