It’s About Time Cape Town City Won According to Eric Tinkler! The Cityzens claimed their first win of the season against Amakhosi.

Cape Town City defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 in the DSTV Premiership last night. Head coach Eric Tinkler was relieved to register their first win of the campaign.

Darwin Gonzalez scored the opening goal of the game within the first 5 minutes. This lead was doubled in the second half by defender Nathan Idumba.

The hosts created many more opportunities in the match and could have easily scored more goals in the encounter. Tinkler claims that they could easily have been 4-0 at the halftime break.

“Tonight, I thought first-half absolutely brilliant; we should have come in at half-time I think 4-0, it should have been a rout,” he exclaimed to SuperSport TV.

“But you don’t take your chances, they started a lot better than us in the second half, put us under a little bit of pressure but then obviously we got the second goal and that took a lot of weight off everybody’s shoulders.”

Nevertheless, Cape Town City was able to claim their first league win of the season.

“Ya definitely but the chances we created today you have to put them into the back of the net because that takes a lot of pressure off everybody,” he said.

“And it’s difficult when you lose three games in a space of a week and that takes its toll psychologically on the players. So, you start being on the edge, you start disbelieving in terms of what are doing on the pitch.

“But tonight, vast improvement, everybody collectively contributed.

“We knew the spaces would be out wide especially when they decided to go with a back-three so they kind of played into our hands and we exploited those spaces very well in that first period, that’s where our most chances came from.

“There were periods in the game they became threatening whenever we lost the ball in the middle, very slippery out there, once, or twice Ambina got caught, Mokeke got caught and that was the only real threat that they caused against us.

“Every time we played in the channels we managed to get in behind, we managed to create goal-scoring situations. So, we spoke about that at half-time, needing to see more of that in the second half.” He stated.

They will look to build on this when the MTN 8 kicks off this weekend. It’s About Time Cape Town City Won According to Eric Tinkler!
