Middendorp bemoans difficult pitch and luck as Nedbank Cup eludes Kaizer Chiefs yet again

The German mentor didn't want to make excuses for Amakhosi's defeat to Highlands Park but lamented the field and luck on the day

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp said his side lacked a bit of luck to seal their passage to the quarter-finals of the Nedbank Cup while also admitting Highlands Park were tough for his players on the day.

The Lions of the North opened the scoring through Peter Shalulile but an own goal by Sello Motsepe brought Amakhosi back into the game before Owen Da Gama's men won the game 5-4 on penalties.
