Earlier this season, Chiefs lost 1-0 to Ajax Cape Town in the MTN8 Cup Final and after the loss to rivals Pirates, the 48-year-old has admitted that Chiefs have to focus better in games of this magnitude.
“Clearly, based on the fact that we lost both big ones it makes you think that, listen we have to concentrate more and apart from the result itself, you also look at performance because what should inspire you and give an indication of how you look at is did they perform? Not really. Did they get a result? Not really. And then you start working on that.
“And which matches are those? As you say, it’s both big ones. We will have to go back and start looking at it,” Komphela concedes.
“Mentally, obviously we have suffered and we know it takes a lot more especially because this is a Derby. There is pride involved and we could have given a better performance, but we are saying listen there is always the next time and we will have an opportunity to rectify our mistakes,” he adds.
