"We've got a spy here," Tinkler said of their loss from Mamelodi Sun downs!

After the exit from the Nedbank cup, Sekhukhune United coach Eric Tinkler spoke in a joking manner at the press conference about the way he managed the match against Mamelodi Sun downs, in which they said goodbye to the championship with a score of 1-0.

Speaking about the match, the coach expressed his big surprises because Mamelodi Sun downs presented the same plan that he likes to rely on in such matches, namely a back trio in the defensive line.

To come up against a team of this quality like Mamelodi Sundowns, is never easy, for any team, obviously the planning and preperation leading up to the game was important, I think we must have a spy somewhere, They picked up certain things were our plans ahead of the game, looking how they structured themselves in the first half, I don’t think they done that this season, so somewhere along the lines they must have found out what we’ve done during the week.

Tinklersaid at the press Conference after the match.

But they made five changes to their line-up, Keanu [Cupido] came in and there was that question whether he would be playing a six-role or part of a back-three and he ended up part of the back-three but it didn’t change our planning or set-up, Who were vindicated as a technical team to keep him in after working with him all week, was about two minutes left, so disappointed as we would have had a chance on penalties, but yeah I think overall if you look at the late second half, extra time, Sundowns were the better team and unfortunately got the goal in dying minutes.

Tinkler concluded.
