“First, you have to look at the stature of a team that you're playing with. In playing Orlando Pirates, with us being a smaller team, you won't go all out against them pound for pound. So, you have to play cautiously... sit back a little bit, defend a little bit and see what they give you,'' Mohafe said.
“In doing that, you have the moments where you get them by a counterattack. We came here looking for a draw. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be.”
The Rise and Shine mentor also defended his keeper Sapunga for the two errors he made that eventually condemned them to a 3-0 defeat. “Sapunga is a national team player [for Equatorial Guinea]. He's a big player... he's an impact player for us. Those goals are not entirely on him,'' the Polokwane coach said.
“On the first goal, there was not enough pressure on the ball... there was a misclearance from the defender and the second goal was a penetration pass that went to Kimviudi, who took a shot, and that shot bounced on his chest and Makgopa finished well.”
“The third goal came from a back pass from his teammate and Makgopa finished off. He's still a good player for us.”
