“‘The only thing they’re going to do from dead ball situations [is that] they’re going to target the far post. Let’s make sure we have numbers on the far post. One should go with him, if it’s not Siya [Siyabonga Ngezana], it should be Sifiso.’

“Unfortunately, we looked like we were set and ready. But also, because we didn’t put pressure on ball, they managed to pinpoint and that’s how we gave it away.

“Look, I can’t blame the players. They gave their all, they tried their level best. It wasn’t to be.

“This has been the story of our season. You look at the effort that we out in, the only thing that was missing was for us to take our chances and we must have seen it today.

“We kept on working on it, you know, to improve on that aspect. Look, it let us down big time. We also conceded goals that we shouldn’t have.

“But its one of those things, and congrats to Orlando Pirates.” He concluded.

Kaizer Chiefs’ trophyless run will go into its nineth season next season. Arthur Zwane Warned Against Threat of Sandile Mthethwa!
