It's not over until the fat lady sings

Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane has urged his players to keep fighting after a fourth consecutive defeat against Cape Town City.

Chiefs went behind early in the game after a defensive error by Daniel Cardoso led to Craig Martin opening the scoring for City before Terrence Mashego got City's second goal early in the second stanza.

Late substitute Dumisani Zuma pulled a goal back for Amakhosi in the dying minutes but it was too little too late.

"Ja look we started very slow and as a result we gave them a goal they didn't deserve," Zwane said on SuperSport TV.

"As I've alluded earlier on, their strength is to keep the ball in the middle, suck you in and obviously try to create space for themselves behind our defenders. That's how they got the goal anyway.

"I thought we had that one covered, I don't know what happened to Daniel, I think he tried to flick the ball to the goalkeeper and couldn't generate enough power to the goalkeeper, unfortunately we conceded from there.

"We're struggling a bit, we're still playing with gear two and I think just before half-time, ten minutes we started to get back into the game, showing glimpses of what we can do. Unfortunately we were not hungry enough to score.
