Simba Claim Difficult Win
According to Pan-Africa Football, Maema was delighted with the team’s victory in a difficult game.
“A very difficult match,” the 30-year-old explained.
“I mean, we came here; it’s only the third game away from home, the third game of the league we already have so many injuries,” he added.
“We are playing with pain; we are sacrificing a lot for the team and for the supporters that came out,” the former Sundowns man continued.
“Continue supporting the boys. These guys are giving everything for the club. I think another three points away from home; it’s now nine points, first three away games,” he added.
“We know that they have speedy wingers, but the coach told us that we have to play together; we have to sacrifice for the team because we are missing a lot of players,” he continued.
Maema Calls For Discipline
Despite the victory, the game was marred by the dismissal of Anthony Mligo, the team’s third red card in as many games this season.
“We got two red cards, and this is a third red card in three games, and it seems that we don’t have discipline, but to be honest, this is a team that is always together,” Maema stated.
