During the Post match interview, Tsabotlhe FC coach, Botshelo Pelokgosi expressed satisfaction with his team's overall performance despite failing to capitalise on chances.
'We just need to be more clinical and I think they didn't create anything. They came here looking for a point. I am happy with our overall performance but we need to be more clinical when we get chances,' Pelokgosi said.
He stated that his team dominated the game, creating chances in the first half, but failed to convert them into goals.
Although they were aiming for three points, Pelokgosi stated that it was important that they maintained their eight-point gap.
He said that they were looking for three points but maintaining the gap is good for them. The coach also spoke about the earlier clash, indicating that emotions are part of the game and it happens in a game of football.
For his part Tonota FC coach, Thaloba Nthaga said the point was very crucial for their log standing in the First North Division. Tactically, he stated that the game itself was balanced.
According to Nthaga, because it was an away game, he automatically had to play defensively and find ways to counter the opponents. He said that Tsabotlhe players were very good in defence because they did not want to open up the much-needed spaces to improve their chances of taking a lead.
He was impressed with both teams in terms of the ball play.
'Our team has quality players, with some players having played in the Premier League. I had about three players who managed to resist that pressure.
'The senior players controlled the young players so that they do not open up any pockets behind our defenders,' he added.
The point sees Tonota FC maintaining their position at the top of the league with 34points while Tsabothe FC remains in second place with 26 points.
