Keeper errors frustrate Hunt
Gavin Hunt was left frustrated by another Kaizer Chiefs defeat as they went down 2-1 to AmaZulu in their DStv Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Wednesday.
A goalkeeping error from the recalled Itumeleng Khune gifted Usuthu their winning goal via Lehlohonolo Majoro as Chiefs also wasted a number of good opportunities to score, but were ultimately beaten by the better side on the day.
They were not helped by the early loss of Happy Mashiane to injury, and then a red card for youngster Darrel Matsheke with 20 minutes to go.
“Disappointing again, making a change in the first five minutes, changing the balance of the team. It was working well in the first half. I thought we did quite well, getting a few times behind,” Hunt said.
“Making the change, the balance goes a little bit. But there was nothing in the game, I thought we did OK. We could’ve snatched it ourselves and obviously, we got a bit of a lucky goal and that what’s happened.
“We made a change in the department and there was another mistake so that’s what it is, but we got to keep soldiering on and keep believe and keep working.
“We just felt that with the shape change and the change of the first five minutes, we needed to change the shape of the team and you got to do that. So that’s what we did and then obviously at the end we’re chasing a little bit and we had to do it again because of the situation.
“We came back and we even had some good chances. I don’t know if Samir [Nurkovic] should’ve scored there with the header. He hasn’t scored now in how many games? So it’s a bit disturbing there.
“But we can’t always rely on him we should be doing better in other areas. Our final ball wasn’t as good as it should be, but as I said one error, right at halftime again. As I said, we had to change the team and it doesn’t help you.”
