Africa-Press – Angola. The coach of 1o de Maio de Benguela, Silvestre Pelé, expressed satisfaction with the 1-0 victory against Luanda City in the 8th round of the National First Division Championship, but lamented his team’s performance.
In an interview after the match, the coach considered the triumph “deserved,” despite the difficulties imposed by the opponent, but lamented his team’s performance, stating that there are still many aspects to work on.
“It was a difficult game. We faced a tactically well-organized team that made our actions quite difficult,” he said.
Silvestre Pelé acknowledged the technical competence of the opposing team and admitted that he expected a demanding challenge.

“It’s not necessary to win a game this way. I’ve never seen such bad refereeing as today’s, because winning isn’t everything; you should win honestly,” he complained.
