After booking a place in the MTN8 semifinal after their 1-0 victory over Sekhukhune United at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler was satisfied with his side but feels there is still a lot of work to be done.
Darwin Gonzalez scored the only goal of the match from the spot-kick late in the match to send the Citizens through to the semifinals.
But Tinkler has highlighted areas where he thinks his side needs to improve ahead of the Betway Premiership next month.
“The hard part for us as coaches is that you go six weeks of preseason where you do a lot of work in terms of the tactical element and a lot of work in terms of a physical element,” Tinkler told the media after the match.
“But those friendly games that you play and those training sessions never replicate an official match. We will only be able to gauge today where we are in terms of our physicality and in terms of our tactical approach to the game, and I thought we had moments where we looked good and moments where we didn't [look good] both on the ball and off the ball.
