Swallows did look more lively going forward in the second stanza, with Nyatama feeling his side could have snatched a point on the night.

"Ja, I thought it was a game of two halves, in the second half we were a little bit better," Nyatama told SuperSport after the game.

"First half we were losing concentration in some aspects of the game, how we conceded the goal, the very same player who we fouled in the centre takes the ball to the side cross.

"Full-backs have to stop the crosses and also marking inside the box. Second goal, set-piece, that one I cannot comment on that, I think the goalkeeping department can tell me what happened there. But ja, as I said, a game of two halves

"I thought we were gonna get the second one after the fight of getting the first goal but ja I think we just need to keep on pushing ourselves.

"And working hard, that's the only thing and also in the first-half we created one or two chances from set-pieces, at the end of the ball maybe you can get one goal. But ja I think it's something we need to work hard on."
