“I just wanted to say maybe a [Kaizer Chiefs] supporter. Maybe a supporter.” – Davids said regarding referee Xola Sitela as quoted by IdiskiTimes.
“It’s a critical phase of the game, we started very good. On the front foot, creating opportunities and then a counter. Ok, the goalkeeper slips, that can happen.
“But these errors are what’s costing us. The fight, the performance, you can’t fault the players, they gave their all. But yeah, slip in the box on one side, slip in the box other side, just be neutral.”
