“It’s not a miss we can cry about just because it’s Sikhali. Even Messi and Ronaldo miss penalties. It was unfortunate for the player and now we target the next match. Being champions of the league is still very possible so we’ll keep pushing hard to the last match,” Kgomongwe said. He mentioned that it was a great game of football. “I want to also congratulate the referees. This was no easy fixture but a life or death match, though they did well handling it,” he said.
