Tinkler Disputes Pirates' Second Goal

Tinkler Disputes Pirates' Second Goal

Cape Town City head coach Eric Tinkler says Orlando Pirates' second goal should not have been awarded.

The Citizens extended their losing streak to four matches across all competitions after going down 2-0 to the Buccaneers.

Tinkler had no complaints about Zakhele Lepasa's strike in the first half, but took issue with Patrick Maswanganyi's goal.

City goalkeeper Darren Keet felt the entire ball did not cross the line and Tinkler echoed those sentiments after the encounter.

"The [first] goal itself, you got to give a lot of credit to Lepasa, great turn, great finish, so I can't really fault anyone there you know," Tinkler told SuperSport after the game.

"But I felt our response in the second half was much better, the changes we made much better, we came into the game a lot better, we started finding the half spaces a lot better and we had them on the back foot to be brutally honest.

"I thought in the second half we had much of the possession, we had most of the territory, the only time they were catching us was on a counter and we were chasing the game.

"So (if) we don't take our chances, they gonna catch you on a counter but you got to take your chances but you know, the second goal, according to me, not a goal," he added.

"But again we allow this to happen week in and week out with no repercussions, what are we gonna do?

"March on to the next game, can't fault the boys, second-half we showed up and I was very happy with what I saw in the second half."
