Terrence Dzvukamanja continued his terrific form by opening the scoring in the encounter. The lead didn’t last long though, with Edwin Gyimah equalizing less than 10 minutes later.

The game was a preview of the Nedbank Cup final in two weeks.

“It was a tough one, we couldn’t do it better today.” The Spaniard told SuperSport TV.

“I think we have too much possession, too much control in their half but its difficult when the opponent is sitting so close to the box, with two tight lines. We try.

“We need to be very precise in the last meters in order to make it. We were in the first half, [a] couple of times. One or two in the second, but not enough today.

“Unfortunately, I think the only shot on target from a corner [for Sekhukhune United] becomes an equalizer and we cannot celebrate today. But anyway, the things continue in the same place then before.

“Mostly it’s in our hands [CAF Champions League qualification], we have to go to Durban in one week and be better than AmaZulu, win the game and that’s all, so we move.” He spoke.
