Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane was left frustrated after his sides failed to reach the final of the MTN8 following their goalless draw against AmaZulu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.

The Glamour Boys were held to a goalless draw in the second leg but Usuthu progressed on the away goal rule after the first leg ended 1-1 at the FNB Stadium three weeks ago.

Zwane admits that he can’t fault his side for their performance against AmaZulu, but bemoans their missed chances in the final third.

“The goals we missed in Johannesburg, they came back to haunt us,” he told SuperSport TV.

“Remember the number of clear-cut chances we created [in the first leg], we couldn’t take one [more], only scored one. We could’ve scored at least two or three goals coming here to Durban.

“It would’ve been a different ball-game all together. Unfortunately we didn’t take those chances and it came back to haunt us.

“They were just playing to buy time, at the same time they were dangerous because people were slowing the game down and increase the tempo all of a sudden.

“We just needed a goal against the run of play but unfortunately we couldn’t get one.

“I can falter the boys performances, they tried their level best and it was not easy, it was not meant to be.”
