A visibly dejected SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt took the embarrassment of being dumped out of the Nedbank Cup at the last 32 stage by amateur side Dondol Stars on the chin on Wednesday.
Unfancied third-tier combination Dondol arrived at Lucas Moripe Stadium to beat United 2-1 and qualify for the last 16 with second-half goals by Relenogile Molefe and captain Kholofelo Monama.
“We didn’t [take our chances] and obviously they got two and the game ended up like it did, but you have to give them credit. There is nothing more you can say. “Football is football, you can go all over the world and you’ll get upsets like this — this happens.” “At halftime we spoke to the players, we tweaked certain things with regards to how we played in the first half and we made two immediate substitutions at halftime so that we could bring the ball down and move the defensive line as high as possible.
