Kaizer Chiefs beat Orlando Pirates 3-2 in Saturday’s thrilling‚ at times heated Absa Premiership Soweto derby at FNB Stadium because they made fewer mistakes‚ Amakhosi coach Ernst Middendorp said afterwards.

In a heated post-match press conference where Middendorp’s Pirates counterpart Rulani Mokwena made accusations of “thuggish behaviour” against Chiefs‚ and the air bristled with tension between the two‚ Amakhosi’s coach said his team made the less errors‚ so won.

“We got the three points‚ we wanted three points. A soccer game is a game of mistakes in attack and in defending‚ and we made less mistakes‚" Middendorp said.“We got exposed at the beginning of the second half on both fullbacks’ side. And OK‚ we should have probably changed it a bit earlier but I was hoping Reeve [Frosler‚ the right-back] would come into it a bit closer.

“And in the end‚ I don’t really know what happened with [Eric] Mathoho with the red card‚ the yellow card for Daniel [Cardoso].
