Malesela: We thought Cosmos would get tired

Chippa United coach Dan Malesela says Jomo Cosmos kept them on their toes in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday.


The Chilli Boys booted Cosmos out of the cup with a 1-0 victory at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to advance to the semifinals.

“We thought the Cosmos players would get tired,” Malesela told SuperSport TV after the game.

“We thought we would stretch them a little bit more in the first half so we can use their tiring players to find gaps.

“A very good game from them, also a bit of a scare right at the end with them having chances, but good luck to Bra J (Sono) and the boys for the league,” added Malesela.
