He also saw the reaction that followed in the news and social media. “I am not proud of what I did,” adds Ngcobo. “It was a heat of the moment thing because I made some costly mistakes during the match and it’s not nice knowing that you’ve let the team down as a player, but that does not justify any of my actions.

Image
  Kaizer Chiefs interim coach has committed on the incident that occurred between Njabulo Ngcobo and Lee Baxter.  Amakhosi have been winless in four matches and dropped to fifth position. Wednesday, defeat against Golden Arrows will be a hard pill to swallow after Njabulo Ngcobo pass the ball to Sbonelo Conco who scored the equalizer for Abafana Bes'thende. Ngcobo who’s known as “Roadblock” was then substituted later for Daniel Cardoso. The defender of the season clashed with goalkeeper coach Lee Baxter. However, Zwane called for calm in their run of three successive league defeats, stating the defender will learn from his mistake and that his behaviour was a result of being upset with himself. “I believe Njabulo was a bit upset at himself that he gave the ball away in the wrong areas and we were punished, I don’t view it as other people may seem to be something that is bad,” Zwane said after the game. “I was a player myself so maybe he was upset, I believe he was upset at him...

Report: KZN Derby End In Goalless Stalemate.

  Royal AM and AmaZulu played a goalless draw in Kwa-Zulu Natal derby at Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday. Both teams had opportunities in the first half but neither goalkeeper was really tested. When the shot-stoppers were required to make interventions, it was not difficult saves for shot-stoppers. Royal AM were unlucky to not be awarded a penalty early in the second half after Philani Zulu was guilty of fouling Mokete Mogaila with his elbow though the referees clearly missed seeing this. Just two minutes later, Mogaila came close to scoring after being played in by the in-form Mxolisi Macuphu. The entertainment of the game was in the second half. Royal AM certainly would have felt that they could have won the game if they were more clinical in the final third. AmaZulu were mainly defending in the second half with Royal AM goalkeeper Patrick Nyame having only made a single save in the second half. Royal AM’s next game is a challenging Nedbank Cup semi-final clash against Mamelodi Sun...
