Usuthu have become the second DSTV Premiership side to fall to Dondol Stars, ABC Motsepe League opposition, after SuperSport United also lost to them. They missed a flurry of opportunities as they lost the match.

Pule Ekstein gave them the lead in the second half, slotting in coolly. Revaldo Fox equalised soon after, from a corner kick.

Keagan Buchanan was given a red card for violent behaviour into extra time. Gabadinho Mhango was the only player to miss, as everyone else was able to score their penalties.

“First of all, congratulations to the opponents, they deserve the win,” the tactician told the media.

“During the match, we put ourselves in trouble by missing so many chances. We hit the post twice, had four or five shots yards away from the net, and missed the target.

“When you are that poor at finishing, you are opening the door for anything to happen.

“You are also opening the door for extra time and penalties. If you are not clinical in your execution tactically, the opponent will be, and that is what happened today.

“In terms of creative sequences offensively, we were fine, but in terms of finishing, we were extremely poor.

“As much as I want to congratulate the opponent, I think we gave them an opportunity to go through, and we can only blame ourselves.” He concluded.
