TAFIC rue defensive errors

Jacobs feels his side could have done much better defensively against the Ostriches and the defensive blunders have cost them a place in the final. They conceded two goals in almost the same fashion. “It was a tough one and we played a quality outfit in Orapa. Orapa is a strong team and you can see from the bench, they brought in players who can kill off the game.

I think we gifted them those two goals. I think we defended poorly and we switched off watching the cross coming and we were not marking. As a coach, I have to take it but it is a bitter pill to swallow. We wanted to go into the final but it did not happen. I always say football is a game of chances, and you must score those chances and it is a game of defending those chances and in my opinion, we did not defend well,” Jacobs said.
