I feel that we were at an advantage despite this, because the match wasn’t really that challenging,” Mfene said.
Ntanganedzeni Tshinavhe, goalkeeper and acting coach for Youth of Power said that there is always room for improvement.
“As a team we need to improve communication. We also had a delay when the other teams were coming inside the court during the game.
