The Red Devils were held to a goalless draw in the second leg of the African Football League (AFL) semifinals, resulting in their exit from the competition following a 1-0 aggregate defeat after losing the first leg in Pretoria on Sunday.

"We were the better side during the game, especially in the first half, which saw my team squander many goalscoring opportunities, including a penalty," Koller stated during the post-match news conference.

He further mentioned, "I cannot blame my players for this exit as they gave their best effort throughout the 90 minutes."

"We have to agree that we need to be more clinical, as it has been our main problem in recent games, and we will work on it.’’

"We will regain our winning rhythm in the upcoming matches and secure titles," he concluded
