MTN8: McCarthy - One mistake ended AmaZulu’s journey vs Cape Town City

The former Bafana Bafana striker reveals what denied his side the chance to reach the semi-finals of the domestic competition

AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy believes one mistake denied his team the chance to reach the semi-final of the MTN8 after losing 2-1 to Cape Town City on Sunday.

The Citizens took a deserved lead in the quarter-final fixture at Moses Mabhida Stadium after Terrence Mashego scored in the eighth minute but Usuthu drew level in the 54th minute via Lehlohonolo Majoro, but Mduduzi Mdantsane slotted home the winner for City in the 89th minute.

According to McCarthy, he was impressed with the performance of his team especially the new players, but what hurt him most is conceding a goal in the last minutes after one mistake.
