Jesse Jackson Kauraisa Brave Warriors coach Bobby Samaria is still optimistic about his team’s prospects in the Fifa World Cup qualifiers despite a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Senegal. Goals by Idrissa Gueye, Famara Diedhiou, Sadio Mane and Kaite Balde Diao were enough to give the West Africans a firm grip on Group H.The teams battle again tomorrow in South Africa, with Samaria expecting to turn the tables.“We started off very sluggishly and we allowed them to score two goals in the first half.“They are tactically gifted and they dominated down their left and we took some time to settle in with a few corrections for the second half.“The tie is not over yet. We could have ended 4-3, because we had our chances too in this game. Football is about the passion we have for the game and it’s all about that passion that drives us to fight,” Samaria said.Namibia’s only goal of the match was scored by substitute Joslin Kamatuka in the 76th minute.More physicalBrave Warriors did have chances against a star-studded Senegal side but failed to make the most of them.“Although we continued to make mistakes, we showed progress with our speed with Deon Hotto, Peter Shalulile and Willy Stephanus who came on and upped the game. We also need to be more physical in the second match”, Samaria said.Senegal leads the group on nine points with Namibia still second on four. Congo are on two and Togo on a point to complete the group after three games played by each team.
