Kaitano Tembo’s missed opportunity

Kaitano Tembo will be ruing his side having missed out on the opportunity of moving within 3 points of log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns after a Supersport’s 1 all stalemate with Moroka Swallows on Saturday.

Supersport had led the encounter after Lucky Mohami struck in the 6th minute. Tembo’s men appeared to have been holding on for a slender win up until Joseph Mhlongo struck a crucial equaliser for Moroka Swallows with 15 minutes of the game remaining. The 1-1 stalemate saw Mamelodi Sundowns go 5 points clear at the summit of the DSTV premiership standings after getting the better of Chippa United.

Save for defensive frailties which have seen his charges conceding 6 goals more than Sundowns, Supersport have been impressive scoring just one goal less than their title rivals having played a game less.

Former Zimbabwe international Kaitano Tembo is chasing for a maiden premiership title as a head coach. While Supersport have had an impressive season so far, defensive improvement will be vital if they are to mount a serious challenge for a title which Mamelodi Sundowns is so desperate to defend.
