Zwane: Our Downfall Was That We Scored Too Early

Zwane: Our Downfall Was That We Scored Too Early

After playing out to a disappointing draw, Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane pinpoints where exactly his side got it wrong in their 2-2 draw against TS Galaxy on Wednesday.

Amakhosi looked on course to get back to winning ways when Ashley Du Preez stepped up in the absence of Caleb Bimenyimana, opening the scoring in the seventh minute.

This, however, according to Zwane, was his side's undoing as they did not put the game to bed, which allowed the Rockets to claw their way back into the game, by finding two goals of their own through former Chiefs stalwart Bernard Parker and Djakaridja Junior Traoré.

"This is one game that we started off very, very well. Also, I think our downfall was too score too early in the game, after that we created quite a few chances that we did not capitalize on in terms of killing the game off, but we gave them hope and against the run of play, they got the equalizer and their confidence grew and from that moment, you could see that anything could happen but we still managed to create goalscoring opportunities, we were still not clinical," Zwane told journalists after the game.

Zwane commended his side's second half performance in which captain of the day Keagan Dolly, dispatched a world class free kick, while Amakhosi squandered a number of chances.

"[In the] second half, I think it was only Kaizer Chiefs and unfortunately again in terms of scoring goals, I think we were not clinical enough to make sure that we get maximum points, but I must commend the boys who gave it their all. They made it difficult for the opposition, more especially in the second half and I'd like to encourage them to continue in terms of the performance going into the next game.

"It was just unfortunate that we didn't get maximum points, I think we deserved the whole three points, but it wasn't to be once more," he concluded.
