Speaking after the game, Steve Barker told SuperSport: “It is an area we’ve identified – not managing games in the last ten or fifteen minutes well enough, but in some instances the opposition that we have played against have been quality.

“If we can improve that area of our game, I think we’ve shown we are capable of scoring some decent goals.

“Once again a bit disappointing that twice we took the lead and weren’t able to hold out.

“But looking at the game, the second half looked like an entertaining match with some really quality headed goals this evening.

“Got to be proud of the effort again but definitely one or two areas where we need to improve,” Steve Barker concluded.

Up next for the 10th-placed side is a home clash with in-form third-placed AmaZulu on Friday, 9 April.

Kick-off is at 17:00.
