‘We gave them the ball’

Speaking after the game, Zwane blamed lack of experience from his youthful side for not getting maximum points against Sekhukhune.
“When you look at all the goals and look at all the turnovers, we gave them the ball,” said Zwane.

“You could see now when they started showing respect, they wanted to manage the game. And they wanted to attack in moments rather than playing a game.

“They knew that they would open up, so they wanted to manage us, especially towards the end of the game. They were just playing for that point. You will find that situation when you play with players who are still growing. We just have to be patient and have belief,” added Zwane.
