The Birds let a first half lead slip to lose 2-1 to 10-man Cape Town City on Saturday, a loss described as “painful” by assistant coach Fani Madida, who is in the dugout while Kerr waits for his work permit. The latter’s input is reduced to barking orders from the stands.
They were gifted a goal for Monnapule Saleng after a poor pass by Thato Mokeke, and also thwarted by the excellent Hugo Marques in the City goal as chance after chance went begging. The turning points for City was, ironically, the red card for their defender Abbubaker Mobara, who could have no complaints as he hauled down Ruzaigh Gamildien just outside the box. This led to a change in tactics and suddenly the home side had more focus and intensity with their backs to the wall.
“I was disappointed with the manner in how the goals were scored. The difference between the two teams was that their goalkeeper [Marques] saved them in this game and our goalkeeper [Jody February] could not. Swallows should have been out of sight in the first half as they created a plethora of chances. For a former striker of the calibre of Madida, it was a painful watch.
