Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler is relieved to have ended his side's three successive defeats with a goalless draw against Maritzburg United at Athlone Stadium on Tuesday.
Despite not getting all the three points at home, Tinkler was happy with the performance his side dished out and hopes they will build on this when they face Stellenbosch in the Cape derby on Saturday.
“It was difficult times, difficult results but at the same time as I said before, the performance against [Mamelodi] Sundowns was exceptional although our build-up was a problem. “It was a similar scenario when we went to AmaZulu. So emotionally and psychologically I think that affects everyone – players, coaches and everyone involved.”
“But I saw a grand brand of football, we got into the final third well, we got loads of box entries and we looked like a threat. As much as we wanted the three points, the fact that we kept a clean sheet and we are still moving in the right direction is not like we are playing bad football. Our luck must turn ... I believe it will.”
