Zwane: When The Pressure Mounts You're Bound To Crack

AmaZulu co-coach Arthur Zwane has commented on Richard Ofori's mistakes against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday evening.

Usuthu managed to secure a point at the FNB Stadium after playing to a 2-2 draw against the Soweto giants.

The result might have been different if the Usuthu goalkeeper did not commit errors leading to both of Chiefs' goals, which have gone down as own goals.

'To be honest at that moment when we were trailing, they could have scored two or three goals you know with ease, Ofori kept us in the game as much as he made mistakes that were costly but he kept us in the game, he did very well for me," Zwane told SuperSport after the game.

"Second half we told them, 'Listen, let them come, they are more frustrated now, we're likely to win this game, because they will come in numbers and will leave a lot of spaces in the middle and at the back and that's how we're going to progress the ball from, the back.

"Second-half we were on par with them, we were even at some point better than them, we created a number of chances, as much as they created goal-scoring opportunities as well but I believe we could have, especially that one of Elmo could have been a winner for us.

"We're a work in progress, we're getting there steady but surely, I'm proud of the guys, I commend the effort today, they gave their all. A point playing away from home playing against a wounded Kaizer Chiefs is better than nothing."

When asked if Ofori was suffering from a knock, Zwane added, "Look, unfortunately football is a game of mistakes, as I said, he kept us in the game and sometimes when the pressure mounts you're bound to crack.

"I think he made crucial mistakes that both of them we know at any given day he would save them, make them look easy but it happened," Zwane concluded.
