"That side didn't give us much"

🗣Norman Mapeza's assessment of right back Emmanuel Jalai & those who played on the right side of attack in the second half.

"If you look at our second half moments, that side [right] didn't give us much.
"It was about us creating overloads on those wide areas [and] it was only happening on the left side of the pitch.
"There wasn't much activity going on on the side of Jalai.
"They could have done better because we wanted to create overloads on both sides.
"It was okay, but maybe we could have done better on their side.

Jalai assisted Neville Tengeg for the winner in the 67th minute.

"He thought maybe he could have given us more"

He didn't know why Knowledge Musona headed to the dressing room after being substituted on 2 September 2026 against FC Platinum, but the Scottland head coach Norman Mapeza has since revealed reasons behind the player's actions.

"He picked up a knock, slight hamstring injury, against FC Platinum on Wednesday.
"So, when we took him out I think he couldn't take it that we are taking him out because we were still 0-0.
"He thought maybe he could have given us more in terms of getting results on that day," Mapeza revealed after his team's 1 nil win over Nsingizini Hotspurs on 6 September 2026.

As a former player himself, it seems Mapeza 'understands'. The hamstring is expected to heal in 2 weeks.
