WHAT THE COACH SAYS…

According to Almenara, who was standing in for the suspended Jose Riveiro, Chiefs dominated the first half but the men in black became the better team in the second stanza.

“We used halftime to readjust this, we came in the second half better than them in our opinion and in that moment we got a red card, we have to analyse to have this touch, one against one towards our goal,” the Spaniard told SuperSport TV.

“Why we have this action in a one against one, I’m not saying it was not a red card,we have to analyse why it happened in the region, why we lost the ball and didn’t press, etcetera.

Almenara concluded by stating that Amakhosi did not deserve to leave with all three points.

“I think it was one half for Chiefs, the second half we were better than them. We readjustd, we were creating, they didn’t create in the second half. The goal was an own goal, they didn’t have anything, so a bit unfair honestly.”
