Royal AM are growing in confidence and proving to be one of the Premiership’s surprise packages this season after they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against a visiting SuperSport United to consolidate their place in the top five.
“We were not patient enough to wait for the right moment to be able to punish our opponent.
“Second half, after we spoke, we said no, let us be patient and play our game and the goals will come.” The scales tipped in Royal’s favour early in the second half when United combative utility defender Luke Fleurs received two yellow cards in quick succession to leave the visitors a man down. “The second half saw a very much improved performance and we did well even before they got the red card, you could see that we were taking the game to them and created so many problems for them in the final third,” said Maduka, who has won five, drawn two and lost two of his opening nine Premiership matches.
“After the red card we created so many chances and we had to introduce more creative players to go forward because at that time we were 1-0 down. We had nothing to lose and wanted to take the game to the opponents.”
