However, Tana insisted that the defeat would not affect the team’s mentality heading into the derby against Power Dynamos this coming weekend.
He urged his players to remain focused on the challenge ahead.
“It can’t make us feel bad. We will go back and encourage our young boys to perform well at Levy Mwanawasa,” Tana said.

“I can’t say there was any complacency in my team. It was just a (bad) day. We didn’t have luck,” he said.
