Coach for eThekwini City FC Robert Hoffman was not impressed with the team’s performance.
“We missed many opportunities that could have been used against our opponent. I think it is time we go back to the drawing board and see where we can improve. We lost the game that we should have won,” said Hoffman.
Durban Warriors remain on top of the log after earning more points at the recent game. The club’s coach Andile Cele was ecstatic over the team’s electrifying performance.
