The Portuguese Coach mentioned that the approach and mentality towards the second leg encounter will change.

"This is football, sometimes you lose to learn. We’ll review our performance, fix our defensive lapses, and approach the second leg with a better mentality.

“Overturning a four-goal deficit is tough, but not impossible.”

The second leg of the encounter will be played in Tshwane on Sunday.
