BackpagepixRichard Ofori – 7.5/10
Great performance between the sticks.
Ofori made eye-catching saves throughout the game – keeping Simba at bay, while also dominating his area.
Deserved a clean sheet, but he was unlucky to concede from the penalty kick.

Tormented by Pape Ousmane Sacko in the first half.
Shandu rarely pushed forward with the dribbling wizard keeping him busy, but he ventured forward towards the end of the game which saw him force goalkeeper Aishi Manula into a late save.
BackpagepixInnocent Maela – 6/10
Replaced Paseka Mako in the starting line-up.
Maela didn't offer much going forward, but he was solid defensively as he made solid tackles to stop Bernard Morrison, who moved into a central role.
He also won his aerial duels.
BackpagepixHappy Jele – 5.5/10
Solid in defence and vocal as he organised his defence.
However, Jele was unlucky to concede a controversial penalty even though he had made contact with the ball first before Morrison went down.
Also had to step in to cover his centre defence partner Nyauza.
