Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Keagan Dolly has pleaded with the Khosi nations to continue to support them despite their elimination from the Carling Knockout Cup.

The Glamour Boys crashed out of the tournament after they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Usuthu in the opening round thanks to a goal from Taariq Fielies at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Dolly, who was named Man of the match, he is disappointed with their elimination from the Carling Knockout Cup as they believed they had a chance to beat AmaZulu.

“First of all, thanks to everyone who supported, voted for me. Very disappointing, we wanted to win this game, I think we were a bit hasty in moments we needed to stay calm, we got half chances but we needed to stay calm,” Dolly told SuperSport TV after the game.

“We were hasty, we really wanted to win, we wanted to make the people proud. This is one cup we felt like we stood a chance but I think it’s a hard one to take tonight.

“Obviously as players we feel it, people come out each and every week to support us, some people travel from far and we feel for them. There’s no player that wants to come out on the field and not deliver.

“We are really trying our best and we plead to the Khosi nation to keep on supporting us and hopefully we can keep on working and things will change.

“You can see in games sometimes we feel the pressure, we really wanna do well for ourselves, for the club and for our supporters but sometimes we just put a lot of pressure on ourselves, in moments we need to stay calm, we were a bit hasty and things don’t go our way,” he concluded.
