Albion Park came up trumps by 5-4 in a high-scoring Illawarra Premier League thriller at Terry Reserve. Cameron Morgan continued his red-hot scoring form, nailing a double for the winners.
"We were up 2-0, we were down 3-2, we were up by two again and finally finished up with a win," Trajceski said.
"I'm speechless, I don't know what happened there mate... there was some heart attack material. Just lack of concentration at the back let them back into the game.
"We're scoring goals, but we're just conceding too easily at the moment. The boys are trying hard, they're working hard. But moving forward, the confidence is a little better at the moment."

After escaping with victory, the White Eagles will now start preparing for next week's clash with the Sharks. It shapes as a crucial game for both sides, who are both sitting mid-table.
"Moving to that Woonona game, hopefully we won't concede as many [goals]. We've just got to fine up the back four, we'll do that during the week," Trajceski said.
"We've had a few injuries behind the scenes which hasn't helped, so we've shuffled the team around a bit. The boys are happy, they're buzzing after that win. But we'll see what happens.
"Sides like Tarrawanna and Woonona, they don't stop. They go for 90 minutes. And that's what we said to the boys [on Saturday], you guys are in for a game today.
"Anyway a win's a win, we're happy with that. It's just the highs and lows of that game, so we'll take the positive out it and move forward against Woonona. Fingers crossed, we fix the lapses there."
There were four Premier League games played on Saturday, with two winners emerging and four teams sharing the points.
Wollongong United strengthened their hold on top spot with a 2-1 win over Port Kembla at Macedonia Park, while Cringila mustered a 2-all draw with Bulli at Crehan Park and Coniston had a 1-all draw with Corrimal at JJ Kelly Park.
