Ernst Middendorp Happy With Point But Wants More!

Ernst Middendorp Happy With Point But Wants More! He wants his side to build from their performance against the champions over the weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns took the lead in the 31^st minute through Themba Zwane. It was a typical well worked goal by Sundowns.

Versatile man Dan Morgan provided the cross for Kwanda Mngonyama to equalise on the hour mark for Maritzburg United. The point will provide the team with confidence, but coach Middendorp wants his side to achieve more.

“A bit of too much respect in the beginning,” he told the media after the match. “We came into the second part of the first half and did better. Second half I think more brave.

“At the moment everyone is prepared to contribute. The analyst Paul [Lamb] really gave a good input during half time, seeing it from the top,” the coach continued.

“Everybody is prepared and I am sure at the end of the season we will have come out of this position.”
Middendorp did however; feel that Zane’s goal could have been avoided.

“A little bit of being too casual, too easy – it was possible to track this player and go more aggressive into one against one,” he said.

“At the moment there are some times of a little bit of uncertainty where we are running around on the field. But like I said, it’s a process, it’s a start and it’s a long way to go.”

Maritzburg’s next game is against Moroka Swallows at the Dobsonville Stadium on the 15^th of December.
