Poor decisions and costly errors in moments of the game cost Kaizer Chiefs dearly in their 4-1 DStv Premiership humbling to Royal AM at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening, said Amakhosi coach Stuart Baxter.
Admitting such a heavy defeat came as a blow to the effort of building a combination with a new-look squad, Baxter said going 2-0 down left Chiefs chasing the game. He admitted Amakhosi ended the game in disarray, as Royal strolled in a fourth in the 95th minute via substitute Mfundo Thikazi's finish.“I think the first 30 minutes we picked up a bit where we left off — the structure and movement were quite good, and we were creating chances,” Baxter said.
“But we come in at half time and we're talking about sharpening certain aspects of our game, and not overhauling the game. “Even though we got a goal back, we allowed a goal straight away and the last 10-odd minutes were quite embarrassing, and we need to apologise to our supporters for the manner in which the game finished.”
“Whether we have a player like Willard — no we don't have a player who sits. Anthony Akumu, when he came in [for Nange], was going to do that role.
