The coach felt his staff ought to have had a spot-kick.

He felt his staff made extra of the play.

“We were actually on the front foot as well just after introducing ‘Ash’ (Ashley Du Preez) and the young Mduduzi (Shabalala), Sekgota as well, we wanted to put them under pressure and force them to make mistakes,” Zwane informed SuperSport.

“And we did drive them to make errors we have been simply unlucky and I consider one, there was a penalty there when Caleb (Bimenyimana) was charging in the direction of the ball and he was pulled.

“Unfortunately, the referee did not see it and it’s one of those things. I think the boys tried, against the run of play we conceded we shouldn’t have because it was from out mistake again,” he added.

Bumpy FNB has Zwane in a spin

While Zwane couldn’t fault his participant’s effort he was much less happy with the preparation of the bottom.

“Ja look, I think we started a bit sluggish, we gained momentum, had control of the game though we played in patches, we created quite a few chances first half we could capitalise on, we couldn’t take them,” Zwane mentioned after the shock loss..

“Second half, once you take a look at the best way we conceded once more, typically this stuff after they occur you ask your self questions.

“But I can’t fault the boys, the effort, when you look at them, the pitch also didn’t make our lives easy, it was a bit soft and bumpy but when you look at the number of chances that we created, we could have maybe buried them, unfortunately today it wasn’t to be.”
