Warriors coach Zdravko Logarusic says he is happy with his charges’ performance in a 2-0 loss to Namibia in the COSAFA Cup Group B match played on Sunday afternoon at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Zimbabwe were undone by Qadr Amini’s own goal and Elmo Kambinda’s late effort.
This was the Warriors’ first loss at the COSAFA tournament after drawing their first two games in the group, against Mozambique and Malawi on Wednesday and Friday respectively.
Speaking after the match, Logarusic admitted they couldn’t capitalise on their dominance but expressed satisfaction with the Warriors’ overall performance. He said:
We didn’t use our dominance to score goals and individual mistakes at the back saw us conceding twice.
However, I’m happy with the things I saw in the game. Most of my players are still young, and it (the experience) is good for them.
We continue fighting and hope some results will go in our favour. Maybe in the last game (against Senegal), something will happen.
We can still fight for the second position. This is Africa, and any team can win, so let us see how things will go.
The Warriors will face Senegal in a must-win encounter on Tuesday. The kick-off time is at 12 pm.
