Maybe as a co-incidence or not, Zimbabwe couldn’t find answers to their opponents questions as they lost the encounter 1-0 at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in front of Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

A 72nd minute finish by Salomo Banga was enough to hand the West African nation all three points .

But despite accusing Cameroon of witchcraft before kick-off, Logarusic was upbeat at the final whistle.

The Zimbabwe gaffer told Caf via SunSport:

“We will try our best to see how things go.
“We have tried our best as the technical team to give most players in the top flight a chance to prove themselves.
“We will certainly try our best. We need to improve in every area of the game and hopefully we will be in better shape as a team.
“The players haven’t played football for eight, nine months and every aspect of their game needs to be improved.”
