Golden Arrows coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi  has revealed what he told the players at halftime when they were 3-0 down to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Arrows suffered their first defeat of the DStv Premiership season after going down 4-0 to the defending champions on Tuesday evening.

The KwaZulu-Natal side found themselves three goals behind at the break after a disappointing opening 45 miutes.

"We had a challenge in terms of defensive and also offensive play. So, we just wanted to try something else, I just told the players at halftime it can never be worse than what it is right now we just need to go back and try not to concede.

"Unfortunately, we conceded another goal in the second half but the structure defensively was much better. We could've done better because even playing wide we were able to combine five, six touches in the second half which is something we were struggling with in the second half.

"So, I think we will build on this one and take the positive out of it and rectify all the mistakes we've done today," Vilakazi said.

As of now, the aim is to bounce back against the newly-promoted Polokwane City over the weekend and furthermore make use of the fact that it's a home encounter.

"We will definitely have to redeem ourselves playing against them at home. We must take advantage of that and try to win the game and get the three points. What I've just said now we just don't need to look down, we just need to look forward and go for the next challenge and make sure that we do better."
