Golden Arrows coach Clinton Larsen says he was disappointed not to have collected all three points against Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium.

The 45-year-old believes his side’s first goal of the match give them the confidence to start creating more chances in the final third which eventually lead to them doubling their lead.

‘We were very slow out of the blocks as our opponents bossed the opening 15mins. We then grew into the game and started creating chances and took the lead through a well taken Dikgacoi goal,’ Larsen told the Golden Arrows website.

‘The goal gave us some momentum as we started to create chances with Ntanga being our main source of creativity. We then doubled our lead through Bilankulu only to concede to a very good Rusike strike on the stroke of half-time.

Larsen says he was disappointed not to have walked away with all three points after dominating the second half but he remains positive ahead of their next match.

‘We should have dominated the game when our opponents had a man sent off midway through the 2nd half, but allowed them back into the game,’ he added.

‘We conceded our lead when Lentjies equalized after a mishit shot fell fortuitously to him and he duelly tucked it away. We are disappointed not to have bagged all 3 points but will take the point and continue to push hard and try and win our next match.
