"We needed to start on the front foot from the beginning; in the first half, we were good, not very good, but good; the only issue was to score the first goal, and in the second half, we played with fear," the Tunisian coach said.

The former Young Africans coach stated why his players played with fear against the Chilli Boys in Durban.

"When you play with fear, you play with the handbrake, you don't go forward or back, but it's understandable, it's psychological because the last results were not very positive and the players wanted so much to get three points that sometimes they felt like not going forward, just to sit back and defend," he added.

"But after these three points, we are confident we can build from this."
