The Peoples Elephant, according to Finidi , were denied a clear penalty in the encounter. The 53-year-old berated the officials for their poor handling of the game.
When you have a penalty and you don't give it, what do you expect? Is it a must that the home team must win?' 'Every time the same thing happens and we keep talking about making the league better. That was a chance and they got the goal but if you look at the game overall, we had the better possibility to have won the game. 'We are running our race. We are playing at home in our next game and we want to play and win properly, not in a deceitful way.
