“It is one of those games where the performance was good but not the results,” said coach Middendorp. “We had several chances where we should have scored. We hit the bar three times and had two or three other golden opportunities.”
Middendorp reflected on his team’s 2-1 loss to SuperSport United in a fierce encounter that took place in Nelspruit’ Mbombela Stadium on Saturday evening.
“We brought in Zuma to improve our attack and immediately it paid off with the pressure resulting in an equalising goal,” added Middendorp. “We had a forced change with Reeve Frosler coming off and we introduced Kgotso Moleko. The game was tough, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. We have three days to prepare for the next match.
“We will look at some reshuffling the team. With Frosler and Samir Nurković out on four bookings, we will make some changes. We have Ramahlwe Mphahlele on standby. As you saw on Saturday, Philani Zulu got an opportunity to play after doing well at training.”
Chiefs will on Wednesday welcome Highlands Park to FNB Stadium for an Absa Premiership clash.
“I have said it on several occasions that this is going to be a tough race,” concluded Middendorp. “There will be many tricky games going into the final part of the season. For now, our focus is on the next match against Highlands Park.”
