Right down the line: No tolerance for teams missing goals
But overconfidence and showing off got in the way of scoring. They proved that they were more capable than their opponents, but they failed to deliver satisfactory results.
Things are off to a great start, but only time will determine their fate at the end. Last Sunday, TS Galaxy hosted St Louis from the Seychelles at Mbombela Stadium and it was a 90-minute roller-coaster ride.
There were good and unacceptable moments that left supporters shattered. The Rockets dominated the game throughout, but only managed to score one goal, which was a low blow. The first few minutes were thrilling, and the boys were convinced that they would walk away with at least three, if not four goals. But overconfidence and showing off got in the way of scoring.
They proved that they were more capable than their opponents, but they failed to deliver satisfactory results. I understand that a win is a win; we will not take that away, but there were countless opportunities that should have been used to score, considering they missed a penalty. Instead, they were dribbling more often, than to capitalise on the team’s weakness and score more goals. This would have made their job easier when they head to Seychelles, knowing that they have got the upper hand. After half-time, they ran out of strategies to redeem themselves. For all we know, the Seychelles team could have equalised, because they had two chances to score, but The Rockets’ defence was solid. I hope coach Dan Malesela instils more discipline moving forward. This is not a tongue-lashing, but constructive criticism, as the team are representing the province, and we want the best out of them.
