Chisi Mbewe praise as Red Arrows edge Kaizer Chiefs in CAF Confederation Cup
Alassane Diarra scored the only goal at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in the 76th minute to hand the Zambian Premier League side the advantage heading into next week's second leg.
Reflecting on the tie, Mbewe admits his side could have scored more goals against the Betway Premiership campaigners and is hopeful they can secure their progression to the knockout rounds with another strong performance in South Africa.
"Coming into this game, we knew it was not going to be an easy encounter, considering the experience and maturity Kaizer Chiefs have in this competition," Mbewe said on ZamFoot.
"I am happy with the way the boys fought and approached the game. Despite missing several chances, they showed great commitment and created numerous opportunities."
"Sometimes, that is the nature of football. You can create so many chances and end up scoring just one goal," added the head coach.
"However, we have to go back to training and continue improving. We need to be solid, remain compact and ensure that we do not give Kaizer Chiefs the space to dictate play.
“We are pleased with the result, but we know there are areas we need to work on as we prepare for the next match in South Africa.”
