Stellenbosch FC annihilated Milford FC in the Nedbank Cup last 16 round on Friday. Kaizer Chiefs have been trending since.
After a dream win over Chiefs in the previous round, Milford coach Xanti Pupuma described the difference between Stellies and Amakhosi.
“They scored in the first half, and they scored the second goal, which really took us off,” Pupuma said as quoted by. “And we kind of lost confidence a little bit, but we scored, came back. We were like, ‘Okay we’re in it’ but they quickly showed us that, ‘we are a class above you’. “So, it worked, their plan worked, so that’s what killed us. That was the difference between here and FNB. Had scored in the 4th minute, that shot that hit the post. Maybe it would have been a different result. Hence, Chiefs missed a penalty extra time because they were panicking, they were already panicking. And we knew that and we worked on that to overcome that game,” Pupuma concluded.
The result after 120 minutes was a goalless draw. The hero was Milford’s Man of the Match goalkeeper Siphamandla Hleza. Penalty shootouts further resulted in a 4-5 loss to Chiefs.The Soweto giant’s interim coach, Cavin Johnson, later apologised to Chiefs followers.. “I am sure they will have been able to see the game… it is not that we allowed them to come at us. We tried the best we could to get as far as we could, with the trophy drought as it is.
