Arrows suffered their sixth of the DStv Premiership season after going down 2-1 to the Buccaneers at Mpumalanga Stadium.

"I think one mistake cost us all the time, I think they didn't create the second goal, we gave them the second goal, they scored and after that the game was over, now we're chasing the game," Khenyeza told SuperSport after the game.
"I think if we didn't make that mistake, we were gonna push the game and get something, because after that I know they created some scoring opportunities but we gave them the second goal, mistake, negative pass, we can't clear the ball, they take it, they score,
"After that we need to chase the game again but well done to Pirates but good effort from the guys, they scored, it's only that one mistake because like I said we can go pound to pound with Pirates, we tried to match them in making sure that we don't sit back and try always to push, to take the game to them."
Khenyeza feels his side were just lacking in the final third of play, especially in the second half.
"It happened both sides it's just that (Pirates) were connecting, they were precise in terms of that connection to the next line but if you notice first-half we had our moments on transition, we were supposed to put the ball in between (the defenders)," he added.
"Second-half we were in but we need to be quick in transition after winning the ball it's just (Pirates) were precise in the final pass, final connection."
