In an interview after the match, Mpinganjira downplayed the result, saying he is assessing new players ahead of the 2020 season kick off.
“I am not that worried with the loss because we are trying combinations and new players. Our players also lacked fitness as you know we regrouped late for pre-season. Our supporters should not get worried because we will catch up,” he said.

After day two of the competition, Chicken Inn lead the table with six points, UD Songo are tied with three points with Bullets but the Mozambican team has a better goal aggregate. Wanderers are anchoring the table with no point.
