Watch VideoAdnan Beganovic fumes at ‘joke’ football as TS Galaxy pivot to Nedbank Cup

TS Galaxy boss Adnan Beganovic didn’t hold back after his side’s narrow loss to Sekhukhune United, blasting the opposition’s defensive approach. With the Rockets now turning their attention to the Nedbank Cup — a trophy they famously won in 2019 — can they find their clinical edge against Marumo Gallants this Sunday?

The loss marked Galaxy’s second defeat in succession, following their 3–2 setback against AmaZulu, halting their upward momentum and leaving them seventh on the standings as they search for answers ahead of their next league assignment against Durban City. Before league action resumes, Beganovic will be hoping his side can tick a few important boxes when they face Marumo Gallants in the Nedbank Cup last-32 clash on Sunday. The fixture carries added significance for Galaxy, who return to the competition that first propelled them into the national spotlight after lifting the trophy in the 2018/19 season — a run memorably capped by a famous 1-0 victory over Kaizer Chiefs in the final.

While progress in the cup will be vital, Beganovic would have preferred to head into the encounter with winning momentum. Reflecting on the narrow defeat to Babina Noko, the Bosnian mentor was particularly unimpressed with the manner in which Sekhukhune approached the match. “I thought the better team lost today because our quality could be seen, and we pushed Sekhukhune into a low block,” Beganovic told SuperSport after the match.
