Speaking after the match, Abdul Maikaba, the coach of Rangers International, acknowledged that the visiting team played well to get the win away from home.
He nevertheless said he had expected the match to be a tough one.
Maikaba said: “Our opponents did well and that fetched them the positive result.
“Besides, I had expected that because I am their former coach.
“But I also think that my players did not understand the politics in this kind of game as they approached it like any other game and that was not good for us.”
