Sekhukhune United head coach Brandon Truter says his side were tactically "superior" over Kaizer Chiefs despite suffering defeat on Wednesday night.
The visitors took the lead through Elias Mokwana just before the break, but Chiefs hit back through Edson Castillo and Edmilson Dove in the second half.
Truter feels his side deserved to get something out of the encounter and says they were undone by two mistakes at the back.

"Two mistakes from us, one from the goalkeeper, one we had a clearance and then there was a conversation between my players they put it back in, second phase we got punished," Truter told SuperSport after the game.
"Other than that we were a far better team, tactically we were superior. We knew what we wanted to do. We allowed them into certain areas of the field and then we had to bring the counter-attack here and there.
"We can improve technically but we were not at our best today by far, yet we went toe to toe with them. We were organized, the structure organized, in defence and in attack as well," he said.
"We could have got something from the game, the chances we had in the first-half, (Chibuike) Ohizu through on goal didn't take a shot at goal and then towards the end (Kgomotso) Mosadi missing an open post, so ja we went toe to toe, we were not at our best (but) I think we did better, we deserved more definitely, based on the chances.
"We had more clear-cut chances tonight, so I feel for the boys but ja we move on. We want to improve game by game."
