Free State Stars coach Kinnah Phiri has vowed to work on his side’s finishing ahead of their Absa Premiership clash against Maritzburg United on Saturday.
Ea Lla Koto bowed out of the Nedbank Cup on Saturday after a penalty shoot-out defeat at BidVest Wits in a game in which they had more than enough chances to win.
Since returning from the festive season break, Stars have been involved in three draws and Phiri believes they might have won them all had they been more proficient in front of goal.
“We are going to work on our finishing this week. One day when the chances are taken we are going to really punish a team,” Phiri said. “The guys are very confident and motivated. Our defence has improved a lot and we managed to keep a clean sheet against Wits.
“The performance was very good. The boys worked hard, played well and created a lot of chances. I feel that we deserved to win [against Wits].
“The only problem was the finishing. We broke through on their goal twice and both times the goalkeeper managed to save. We did everything right. The boys gave their all and they followed instructions properly.”
Phiri says the match against Maritzburg will be another stern challenge against one of the toughest defences in the league.
“We are going to prepare well. We have played three games so far and we have not lost a game. We have created many chances but just not made use of them,” the veteran Malawian coach said.
