Gavin Hunt's SuperSport United suffered defeat at the hands of reigning CAF Confederations Cup Champions, USM Alger, going down 2-0 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

This is Matsatsantsa's second successive in continental football this season, as they were beaten 1-0 by Future FC of Egypt last weekend.

The visitors scored either side of halftime to remain top of the table, leaving SuperSport with a harder task of qualifying to the next round as they remain rooted to the bottom of Group A. 

SuperSport face Libya's Al Hilal away from home next in a must-win encounter. Here's how the readers reacted to the "SuperSport Suffer Back-To-Back Confed Cup Losses" story:

"The only team that supplies Sundowns with players and points on regular basis...." says mymkhize.

"[Translated from isiZulu] Gavin Hunt will keep on losing because he has an ugly heart, he doesn't want to admit that football is beyond him now. He always speaks badly about other coaches. I don't know why he's struggling to win like Sekhukhune is. 

"He's always complaining about the players sold to Sundowns, even if he loses to Chippa, now he's complaining about players being hugged by their coaches. This man is aging, and he plays an outdated style of football. He should look at Stellenbosch, they don't care if they lose players, they keep it going with the ones they have.

"Admit it Hunt, modern football is too much for you, because you believe in an outdated style of long balls and crosses," says Cutter.

"Gavin Hunt is overrated," says The godfather.

"No worries. They still have 4 more games to collect points. But its bad to lose at home," says Skyvodka.

"SuperSport has no ambitions to go any further in this tournament for reasons of money and fatigue to players, plus, cup games  and the league itself. Remember, they use the many they got from the money man to pay players and and traveling expenses. Only Sundowns can afford this luxuries afforded to them by Motsepe," says userThautha.

The 33-year-old is also reportedly open to a paycut, as his previous wages have proven to be a stumbling block for teams that were looking at signing the Zimbabwean international.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "Latest on Khama Billiat" story:

"Something terrible happens to different coaches and players who leave Kaizer Chiefs. Gavin Hunt must stop trying to relieve stress on the media. He must take his time coaching and developing players. He is hired to develop and produce not to compete. He failed where he was supposed to," says lambasngoape who added:

"Something terrible has happened to this talented boy. I think it is more or the same with Nurkovic."

"Chiefs destroyed his career," says Saavedra.

"Khama must focus on his business interests. He made good money in the game and should consider moving on. At his age and with many injuries that he seems to get all the time, it will not be easy for any team to sign him. Imagine if Tower, who is hardly injured, is not getting a deal, it should be harder for a risky Khama.
