The Soweto giants thought they had taken the lead twice in the second half but Samir Nurkovic’s efforts were ruled out for offside.
“Just a bit disappointed with the result. I thought we did enough to win the game‚ but it didn’t happen‚” said Hunt as per Sowetan Live.
“That’s how it goes in football. And the ones who survive are the stronger ones. As long as we create the opportunities. and maybe in the first half we didn’t create enough‚ where I think our final ball was not good enough.
“But once we got the synergy a bit better‚ we wanted to get the midfield players wide – because we don’t really have wide players‚ and we wanted to get the central players in those areas – then it was much better in the second half.
“Unavailable Players: Injuries: Billiat, Mashiane, Zuma, Mathoho. Family Responsibility: Moleko, Chiefs announced on their official Twitter account.
Happy Mashiane and Dumisani Zuma have both been out for the last couple of games while Eric Mathoho was set to start in Chiefs most recent match, a 1-1 draw with SuperSport United, but was withdrawn shortly before kick-off.
There is some good news for Chiefs fans in that striker Samir Nurkovic and midfielder Willard Katsande will be available for selection. Both had picked up knocks in the draw with Matsatsantsa. Players available for selection after Saturday’s niggles: Nurkovic and Katsande,” the club confirmed.
Castro has considerable experience in the Champions League and won the competition with Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016.
He knows it’s an unforgiving arena in which mistakes will be capitalised on and in which any chance must be taken. We need to work hard to get the result. Its going to be a tough game and we need to be clever,” the Colombian told Chiefs media. We need to play with responsibility, we need to be minimise the mistakes.”
With tough away fixtures to come, Castro says it’s vitally important that Amakhosi hit the ground running with a positive result in Soweto on Tuesday evening.
