Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane admits that they should have defended better against AmaZulu after conceding four goals at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

The Glamour Boys suffered their second straight defeat in the DStv Premiership following their humiliating 4-0 defeat to Usuthu on Friday evening.

Goals from Dumisani Zuma, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Sede Junior Dion and Bonginkosi Ntuli saw the home side walk away with all three points to hand Amahosi their sixth defeat in the league

“I think we put them on the back foot early on and had them under pressure but we conceded from a set piece that we should have defended better,” Zwane told his club’s official website.

“Then we missed the penalty which would have changed the momentum of the game. We conceded from a dead ball situation again.

“We were doing quite well but when the opposition make mistakes we don’t punish them. We had our chances; Caleb should have scored and then Mshini, Duba Dove and Sekgota also should have scored.

“Overall, we didn’t play that badly. We knew they would sit back but we just didn’t capitalise on our opportunities. We must improve our final third entry decision making but it’s something we’ll keep working on until we get it right.

“We learn from our mistakes and today we learned the hard way. I want to forget about this match as soon as possible, and move on, especially for the players.”
