Chippa United coach Dan Malesela says he refuses to point fingers at the match officials after suffering their first defeat in the Absa Premiership this season.

The Chilli Boys suffered a 1-0 defeat against Golden Arrows at Princess Magogo Stadium on Saturday with Vuyani Ntanga’s 65th minute proving to be the difference.

The 51-year-old coach admits that his side must now find a way to solve and fix their performance against Arrows following their defeat.

‘I do not want to start talking about match officials, we must focus on bouncing back from this defeat,’ Malesela said.

‘In football such things happen, you win some and you lose some. We lost against Sundowns and bounced back.

‘We must go back to the training ground and fix what we did not do right today.’

Chippa United will now turn their attention to the Telkom Knockout when they take on Highlands Park on Friday.

The match at Makhulong Stadium kicks off at 20:00.
