Akbay’s comment comes on the back of his side playing against Bidvest Wits in a friendly match on Wednesday.
The Zimbabwean outfit lost 4-1 to the Clever Boys with their former player Terrence Dzvukamanja who is now with Wits scoring a brace.
Akbay says his side held their own against Gavin Hunt’s side but fell short when it came to fitness as Wits are already half way through the season.
“What I liked is that we were playing a team that has got the best players in South Africa and are on top of the log, but we still tried to impose ourselves and play football. There was not much of a difference in quality between the two teams; it’s just that Wits are in better condition physically,” Akbay was quoted as saying by NewsDay.
