Denis Onyango of Mamelodi Sundowns makes a save during his side's penalty shootout against Cape Town City in the MTN8 final at Moses Mabhida Stadium on October 30 2021 in Durban.Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler was left disappointed by the quality of the penalty takers' kicks after the Mother City club lost in the MTN8 final following a poor display during the tense shootout at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday night.
The only City players to beat an inspired Onyango during the shoot-out were Terrence Mashego and Mpho Makola in what turned out to a poor exhibition of penalty-taking in front of about 2,000 people who were allowed to attend the match. “Some credit must go to him but at the same time I thought my goalkeeper Hugo was also phenomenal with the number of saves he made during open play and in the shootout.”
“Nine times out of 10, you sit at training and say this one is good, that one is good and then come penalty time during the match, they say 'coach no, I don’t want to take it.'
