Ajax’s goal was offside – Hunt

Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt was disappointed to see his side lose to Ajax Cape Town on Wednesday, ending their run of nine games without a defeat.


Hunt believes his side were dominant but failed to turn their dominance into a win.

The outgoing Absa Premiership champions have had a hard time defending their title this season collecting 32 points in 25 games.

“We want to finish as high as we can‚” Hunt told The Sowetan.

“After such a bad first round‚ even though we have got 21 points from our last 10 games‚ we have to go like hell still.

“We got to try and get (an average of) two points a game.

“If we can do that‚ we’ll have a good chance still to finish well.

“It’s easier said than done‚ given who we play and when we play.”

“We controlled the game and their goal was offside‚” he suggested.

“But we didn’t do well enough‚ we were let down by our final ball.

“We could have been out of sight by half-time already if we had taken our chances

“We always knew coming to Ajax would be a tough game‚” Hunt added.

Wits next meet leaders Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday (kick off 6pm).
