Speaking at a post-match press conference, Chisi Mbewe expressed sadness with how the boys failed to control play most parts of the game.
Mbewe says heading into the second group C game, his charges will need to up their game.
His opposite number Mathias Déguénon has ruled first half missed chances which he says would have given his side maximum points.
