Komphela: It should have been 7-5 or 7-6
HAMMERSDALE, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 03: Steve Komphela, head coach of Golden Arrows FC during the DStv Premiership match between Golden Arrows and SuperSport United at Mpumalanga Stadium on April 03, 2024 in Hammersdale, South Africa.
Arrows lost for the first time under Komphela after a hat-trick by Tshegofatso Mabasa, goals by Relebohile Mofokeng, Kabelo Dlamini, Sandile Mthethwa and Karim Kimvuidi handed them a big defeat."Very difficult match in terms of numbers, the number of goals scored and one would say I don't think they are a true reflection of the scoreboard. It should have probably been 7-5 or 7-6, maybe against us," Komphela said on SuperSport TV.
"But I think there's a couple of questions we also asked that they needed to respond to but in all honesty again, I thought it was not easy to play on this surface, it's quite soft. There's a stage where I could see most of our players were starting to give in, especially in the wide areas," he said.
"When you look at it as a coach, you say, could it be that the SuperSport match took a lot out of us? Could it be that Richards Bay as well took a lot out of us? Because the SuperSport match first-half was 2-0, second-half we had to push and make it 2-2 and we really did not have much time to rest but it's not an excuse, it's just what you observe as a tactician," he said.
