Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki says he was disappointed with his team’s performance after they conceded their second defeat in the DStv Premiership.

The Glamour Boys suffered their second straight defeat in the league following their 1-0 loss to the Rockers through an own goal by Brandon Petersen at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.

The defeat leaves Chiefs sitting in 13th place on the log with one point from three games, while Galaxy have climbed to third place on the table with seven points from three matches.

Ntseki was left disappointed with his side’s performance but felt his side were not “sharp” enough compared to their previous performance.

“Very disappointed with the loss, but I can attribute it to two things, we did not look as sharp as we were supposed to be. We were almost second on everything,” Ntseki told SuperSport TV after the game.

“Whether in attack we didn’t have numbers aggressively in the box, after losing possession we were not aggressive to apply counter-pressing, so I think maybe on the physical side of it we were not very sharp.

“But I we can always improve on that because we’ve got another full week for the players to recover. If you look back at the intensity of the game, they were more sharper than us, that is why we were second to everything.

“But I think on the balance of play we applied ourselves in terms of the structure, we just made a mistake that led to the goal but it is something that we can always work on.”
