Bright vows to overturn deficit

Bright watched as his side failed to choke the South African side at a crucial time in Pretoria where they fell 2-0 in the first round tie.

Mandla Mgadla had the best opportunity to grab a vital away goal for GU, but his decision when clear on goal let him down. He pushed the ball straight at goalkeeper Rowen Williams who collected the tame effort.

Bright declared yesterday that they will cancel Supersport's advantage. 'I am confident (that we will overturn the deficit). We were unlucky not to score in Pretoria. We have to play our normal game,' he said.

He admitted that his boys, particularly in defence, might have suffered from stage fright in the early stages. However, they clawed their way back into the game and Bright believes with home crowd advantage, the boys should pull through.

It was another heart-breaking moment for Botswana in Harare, Zimbabwe where Mochudi Centre Chiefs were beaten 3-0 by Dynamos in a CAF Champions League match. Chiefs will feel hard done after the Mozambican referee reportedly awarded a penalty after a Dynamos player tumbled unchallenged in the box. Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, Chiefs' chances of upsetting their illustrious opponents look very slim. The two sides meet in the second leg in Gaborone on Sunday.
