Simba head coach Robertinho Oliveira has congratulated the players for successfully emerging with a 1-0 victory against Vipers Fc in the CAF Champions League game played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium yesterday
Speaking after the game, Robertinho said the match was difficult because they needed a win
However, he is satisfied with how the players fought to ensure that they win against a team that was blockingt
"It was a difficult game, we had a lot of pressure because we needed to win. My players handled the match very well and good on the attack. The defenders also did their job well, they covered the space that was being left by the midfielders. It is important not to leave too much space between defenders and midfielders, Onyango and Hennock did a good job"
"Vipers Fc used a 4-3-3 formation using counter-attacks, they put up a wall to block that's why sometimes it was not easy to penetrate passes"
"But I must say the important thing is that we have won, there are no easy matches in the Champions League," said Robertinho
The victory has moved Simba to the second place in group C with six points, needing to win the next game against Horoya Ac, which will be played on March 18 at Benjamin Mkapa stadium to reach the quarter finals
