Cape Town City coach Benni McCarthy was left frustrated after his side conceded a late goal to share the spoils with Golden Arrows.

The Citizens played out to their fourth draw in the Absa Premiership after their 1-1 stalemate against Arrows at Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.

‘I think it was very entertaining and when you draw again from a winning position, you drop two points. It’s frustrating and disappointing and I think it was much positive from SuperSport, we didn’t concede three goals,’ McCarthy told SuperSport TV post-game.

‘We were a bit more solid and you can see that [Taariq] Fielies was a little bit rusty towards the end, but you know what, he worked hard. You’ve got to have the heart to come back from stomach surgery.

‘You’re told you’ll take at least a year and a half or more to recover and then we have him available and [he] puts in a performance like that.

‘We played OK and I’m not as disappointed as I was last week. I don’t mind losing, it is part of life and you can’t just be successful, you’ve got to go through difficult times.

‘That’s why last week I was disappointed and angry because of the way we defended. We just gifted them [SuperSport] goals, we had to work and create the goals but we made mistakes to hand them goals. Today we were much [more] solid, much better but we had a lapse towards the end.

‘I think [Ebrahim] Seedat could have held his composure and showed his marker the line instead of committing in the box. They go away with a point and I’m happy. OK, we pick ourselves up, we move forward. We go back, start working and planning for our next encounter away from home.’
