Polokwane City coach Luc Eymael says his side will bounce back following their 3-2 defeat against Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium on Sunday.

Rise and Shine fell to their third defeat in the Absa Premiership this season following a late goal by Amakhosi midfielder Willard Katsande.

The Belgian coach believes his side lacked concentration in the second half which lead to Amakhosi’s comeback to seal the victory in the final minutes of the match.

‘If it was 0-2 [at half-time], I don’t think Chiefs would have come back,’ Eymael said after the match, ‘I don’t understand this lack of concentration again.

‘It’s how many points now that [we throw away], we are losing it in the last minute of additional time. The coach can work so much, but such things you cannot control.

‘It’s very sad for the club because we could have been number three, with a draw, but unfortunately, it’s like that. We have to bounce back on Wednesday against SuperSport [United].’

Polokwane City will now travel to the Lucas Moripe Stadium when they take on SuperSport United in the Absa Premiership on Wednesday.

Kick-off has been set for 19:30.
