Tembo: Survival is in our hands

SuperSport United caretaker coach Kaitano Tembo says the are the authors of their own faith in their battle to avoid the promotion play offs.


United are two points ahead of 15th placed Ajax Cape Town, who face Kaizer Chiefs in their final game. Matsatsantsa will face Baroka FC, a side with just a point ahead of them.

Tembo is confident that his side will win against Doctor Khumalo’s Bakgakga.

“Everything is still in our hands in our home game against Baroka. We only need one result and that is we need to win that game in order for us to survive,” said Tembo.

On what he will be instilling in his team from now until match day on Saturday, May 12: “We will be working on our decision making in the final third. It is not really about shooting, it is about decision making, the quality of the passes and the quality of the options that we choose and I think that’s what leads to goals, it is not about just shooting anywhere,” said the caretaker coach.
