" Lack of maturity": Da Cruz bemoans toothless Kaizer Chiefs attack after Maboe penalty miss
Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz has bemoaned the “lack of maturity” of his strikers after the Amakhosi were held to a goalless draw by Golden Arrows at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz expressed disappointment over the "lack of maturity" among his forwards following a goalless draw against Golden Arrows at the Mbombela Stadium. This marks the second consecutive draw for Chiefs, who also lost 1-1 to Polokwane City in their previous Betway Premiership match. The subdued Chiefs assault resulted in just one shot on target throughout the entire 90 minutes, with Da Cruz's discontent amplified by a missed penalty from Lebohang Maboe in the first half.
The veteran, who recently earned a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad despite his age, was substituted in the hour mark due to an injury. Da Cruz noted that the substitution was made to balance the field, but the change ultimately left Chiefs unbalanced in midfield. The coach emphasized the team's need to continue building on their recent performances and securing victories, as they are on the right path to scoring goals.
New goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner made his debut, replacing the injured captain Brandon Petersen, as Chiefs strive for improvement.
