Coach Aggrey Chiyangi was happy with his teams win and says its a big motivation going forward. Chiyangi told the Post Newspaper that
It was a must win game for his team considering the bad record the team has when it comes to Napsa stars [ last 10 games, 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses]

Last year, they beat us home and away so this season we said they cannot beat us. When we went to Lusaka, we drew so when we came here, we said ‘this is our home, game no matter how hard they are, we Just have to push and make sure we beat them’,” Chiyangi told the post.
