WARRIORS interim coach Norman Mapeza says he is happy with the progress made by his team despite their 1-0 defeat to neighbours South Africa in their penultimate 2022 World Cup Group G qualifier at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday night. The loss against Bafana Bafana was the Warriors fourth in five World Cup qualifiers and leaves them rooted to the bottom of the group ahead of the final match at home against Ethiopia on Sunday. The Warriors have now lost their last three successive matches since Mapeza took over from sacked Croatian coach Zdravko Logarusic. Despite the poor string of results, the FC Platinum coach said he is pleased with the progress his players have made under his watch. "Obviously I'm disappointed with the result but I am happy with how we are starting to play.
