"I think we controlled the game in the first half and we could've scored because we were in a very good moment, but we didn't," Nabi told SABC Sport.
"The injury of Thabo Cele in the first going into second half disorganised a little bit in terms of liaison between the defence and attacking team. We felt that we didn't start well the second half and with the changes we made we felt we coming better in the game."
He continued, "At that moment, we think we're coming back to controlling the game. You concede a goal from nowhere and after that it's difficult to come back from there.
"We felt we should've scored in the first half when we were in the better moments and those moments when were in a positive environment when you don't score it cost us and that's injuries and absence we have it's costing us a lot.
"It's a very tough loss today, hard to accept because we need to give the fans and put the club in a difficult position…the fans they don't have joy and it's very difficult," he continued.
