The former AS FAR Rabat coach claimed his team's failure to win against John Maduka's side was due to a lack of professionalism.

"We feel that today is a lack of professionalism," he said.
"We could've ended the first half with five or six to nil; this game could have had seven or eight [goals].
"Sometimes you don't score because of lack of collective or ego, but when you don't respect football, the football doesn't respect you.
"We are very frustrated with the two points that we have lost today because we controlled the game from the first minute until the last minute – but that's what happens when you let the opponent live."

The Tunisian gaffer went on to blast Kaizer Chiefs players for losing focus in the game's closing stages, which led to Royal AM securing a point with a late goal.

"The other frustrating thing is, sometimes you can't score, we had a lot of opportunities," he added.
