A last-gasp effort from substitute Wayde Jooste handed Arrows a snatch-and-grab win away at Baroka FC in Polokwane on Wednesday night and propelled the side to within touching distance of the top eight.
But it was only their third win in nine league games since Komphela took over just after Christmas following the sacking of Clinton Larsen.“Three out of nine is not a pass mark. At least have four and a half or five. “But again‚ based on circumstances‚ look you’ve got to be gracious because God won’t even give you a point.Komphela has also had two other wins in the Nedbank Cup‚ both away against lower opposition.Komphela rested goalkeeper Nkosingphile Gumede and striker Lerato Lamola‚ who both had three yellow cards‚ to avoid them picking up fourth cautions and earning unwanted suspensions for the cup tie.
But he is now likely to be without Velemseni Ndwandwe‚ who received a vicious kick on the leg from Baroka’s tempestuous teenage midfielder Goodman Mosele.Komphela railed against the fact referee Thando Ndzandzeka did not send Mosele off for the brutal kick.
