SOWETO DERBY: DA CRUZ SAYS KAIZER CHIEFS SHOULD HAVE BURIED ORLANDO PIRATES
“In the first half, we must have killed this game,” said Da Cruz on SuperSport TV.
“Normally, 2-0 or 3-0 because the goal of Pirates, we’ve seen that it’s offside and maybe there was [supposed to be] a red card as well.
“If we had scored two or three goals, we were going to kill this game,” added Da Cruz.
“In the second half, the last 20 minutes, with our young players we lacked experience. They didn’t create chances because we have a lack of experience, we gave them chances to score more goals.
“We know where we must improve,” concluded Da Cruz.
