Simba Head Coach Fadlu Davids has said that losing the game against Yanga was not the result they expected because they did many things correctly in the game played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium yesterday
Fadlu said they should have made good use of the opportunity, especially the one that Lionel Ateba got early in the first half and also the referees' human error cost them by denying them a penalty which he believes Simba deserved after Kibu Denis was brought down in the danger zone
The South African coach said the team has continued to improve and he believes they are on the right track to build a strong team
"We took the game early, we had a rare opportunity to see the goalkeeper '1v1' and we should have used that opportunity"
"My players struggled, maybe what let us down was my players lack of experience to finish this type of matches"
"We have made a big step compared to what we played last time, matches of this type are maturing us more and the players continue to learn and gain experience which I believe will help us in future matches," said Fadlu
Fadlu also stressed that it is still too early to give up on the championship race as there are still many matches to play
He said in a small window they will make more improvements to the squad to ensure they are strong in areas that have shown shortcomings so far
