The Pretoria Derby produced only two goals - this is what the supporters of these two Pretoria Giants (Supersport United and Mamelodi Sundowns) wanted to see. Supporters wanted great goals but it wasn’t to be. Like I said last time Sundowns fielded a different squad that played in the MTN8 ‘wafa-wafa’ Final. This was good… as other players also needed a run and they did well not to lose the derby. Both teams played well but as usual, they both failed to do the most important thing, scoring goals. When are these players going to learn that goals win games? United were looking to set the record straight, but failed to use the chances that they have created, same goes to Sundowns, it seems like they did not learn from the final after playing well without scoring.Sundowns players looked like they were affected by the outcome of the final, but hey that’s football. In general the Pretoria Derby did not leave up to the standard that it was supposed to be. It lacked goals; the wow factor was not there. The players were not taking their responsibilities as they were supposed to. Coach Trott Moloto will be fine with the point, at least did not lose two games in a row (from United), which can put his job in trouble. Even though the game produced only two goals on the day, the TSHWANE Derby is still a must see Derby.
