“It was difficult to play in the first 25 minutes, but the boys managed to handle the pressure, well done to them.
“[Chitipa] were marking us one on one without giving us the space to play but the boys but the boys kept on playing the way we wanted them to play,” he said.
Adiel Kaduya was a star of the game as he opened the scores before providing an assist to Binwell Katinji.
