Kaizer Chiefs lacked composure in the area and killer instinct to turn pressure into chances, coach Arthur Zwane lamented after his team drew 0-0 in the second leg of their MTN8 semifinal against AmaZulu on Sunday to bow out on away goals.
Zwane said Chiefs lacked their normal explosiveness in the final third and suggested a 2-2 midweek draw against TS Galaxy at FNB Stadium sapped the energy from his players in the semifinal.
Zwane said Chiefs paid the price for not taking their chances in the first leg, where Usuthu were reduced to 10 men when Veluyeke Zulu was dismissed in the 54th minute.“They were going to be cautious because AmaZulu came into this game with that away goal advantage. They were going to try their best to slow the game down, look for fouls and kill the momentum.
“In the second half we tried our best to get a goal, but it wasn't to be. We had quite a few promising entries in the final third, and composure in the box let us down.
