Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has explained the decision behind leaving young Nkosana Mbuthu on the pitch for the entire game.
The Soweto giants were no match for the Tanzanian side, who ran out 4-0 winners at a sold out Toyota Stadium.
A couple of Yanga's goals came from individual errors, including young Nkosana Mbuthu.

The left-back gave the ball away on the stroke of halftime, which led to Yanga's second goal on the day.
However, the Tunisian coach admitted he did not want to destory the player's confidence by taking him off.
"Yes, as you know Mbuthu is a younger player. I'm sure he is a big player in the future. Firstly, I don't have a left-back at this moment and he is left. But it's normal to lose in a friendly game like that.
"If you don't lose now, it's not an outstanding game to lose. I'm assisting him. I don't push him out because I want to give him confidence, I'm happy for his performance.
"If I take him out, I kill him directly. My responsibility is to protect him, to progress and to improve in the future,."
Mbuthu, who had never played first team football before, is the son of former Chiefs player Patrick 'Ace' Mbuthu.
