|||Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town coach Roger De Sa has lauded striker Nathan Paulse who has been on a great run of form for the Urban Warriors, scoring in each match played in the last week.
“He is 30-something and getting better and better, this is probably the best he has played in a long time,” said De Sa.
“He is carrying the team, but unfortunately now he is suspended and will miss out on the next game.
Paulse will, however, face a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards.
De Sa's men gear up for the start of the Telkom Knockout Challenge with the recent pressure they have been under set to continue. The Urban Warriors beat Chiefs 1-0 to lift the 2015 MTN8 trophy last Saturday, thanks to a Paulse strike.
On Wednesday Ajax stumbled to a Mamelodi Sundowns side, determined to bounce back from their recent bad run of form.
Then, finally Ajax hosted Kaizer Chiefs at Cape Town Stadium and although the match ended 1-1, the Urban Warriors drew plenty of positives from the match, especially the fact that talisman Paulse found the back of the net once again.
De Sa expressed his views on the match and how well his men responded after Chiefs dominated the first half.
“In the first half we were a little bit fortunate at times, but in the second half we started to play a little bit more and we created a couple of chances.
“We were a lot better in the second half. When we conceded we were playing pretty well, but it is good to see that we bounced back straight away. I don't think either side wanted to lose at the end, so it was basically just holding on.
“I suppose they had more clear chances than us, but we got better,” added De Sa.
Ajax's next outing is away to Golden Arrows at the King Zwelithini Stadium in the Last 16 of the Telkom Knockout on Saturday (kick-off is at 3.pm). - ANA
