While conceding that their defending was unconvincing when they lost to Mamelodi Sundowns at the weekend, Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter still rated Amakhosi’s display as the best against the Tshwane giants since he has been coach. SihleNdebeleSK
Sundowns prevailed via goals from Grant Kekana and Peter Shalulile, while Lebogang Manyama, who replaced Sifiso Hlanti in the 74th minute, missed a penalty that would have perhaps brought Chiefs back into the game at Loftus Versfeld.
“The goal came basically out of the blue... it was their first real chance and it was a piece of miserable defending from our back lads. The second goal killed the game. I am pleased with the performance, not pleased with the result obviously and I am certainly not pleased with giving away two very poor goals.”
“I think he [Dube] did well in patches but Austin is going to be a good player. I think this is a baptism of fire tonight, he’s got Sundowns that have tactically good players... they made things difficult for him. At times he showed he’s going to be a decent player for us,” said Baxter.
