The coach also spoke about Amakhosi’s 0-0 draw against Highlands Park on Tuesday night. “We created chances and got into goalscoring positions, but we could not convert. We will need to rectify those minor mistakes and ensure we bag maximum points,” he adds.
Kaizer Chiefs are third on the log with 14 points, while Polokwane City occupy position six with 11 points.
