"We will build on this performance," says Chippa coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi after Nedbank Cup defeat

The Chilli Boys competed well with their Betway Premiership opponents for 120 minutes before ultimately losing the game 3-2 on penalties where Darren Keet emerged the hero with three saves.

Chippa beat Durban 2-0 in the league last week but reflecting on the game, Vilakazi explained that he was happy with his side's performance, despite the negative result.

He said in the Herald: "It was a tough one, and we anticipated that it was going to be tough.

"I am happy, and the reason why we wanted to push in the Nedbank Cup was because we wanted to align our psychological aspects because the team had been losing six or seven games in a row.

“I was happy that in the 90 minutes we were not easily beaten and the opposition was not penetrating us that much, and I am happy with the effort. Going forward, we will build on this performance.”
