Maduka: You can't fault the players' effort
PIETERMARITZBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 07: John Maduka, head coach of Royal AM during the DStv Premiership match between Royal AM and Polokwane City at Harry Gwala Stadium on April 07, 2024 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Pirates went to the break with only a 1-0 lead thanks to a penalty scored by Patrick Maswanganyi but an early goal from Thalente Mbatha in the second stanza took the game away from Thwihli Thwahla. "Maybe after the penalty you concede but still we were on it. We still continued pushing in the first-half. Second half you can't fault the boys for the effort. It's only that we made mistakes and you know a team like this, with the quality that they have, you make mistakes they punish you.
"When you're trailing 3-0, 4-0, you've got to take the game to the opposition, when we were 2-0 down, we thought we're still in the game, you can't make drastic changes, you still need to be patient because the boys were still doing well."
