Maritzburg goalie Richard Ofori wants teammates to fight hard in their relegation escape

Published on: 18 January 2019

Maritzburg United goalkeeper Richard Ofori has challenged his teammates to fight hard in their quest of escaping relegation.

Ofori's team is rock-bottom in the Absa Premiership after going half of the season

On Wednesday, they lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns in a game which summed up their campaign this term.

The Team of Choice are the only side yet to secure a home win and are also lowest scorers in the league with six goals.

''I would say we did very well because as you can see we are struggling and now we need to keep our heads up and continue the course," Ofori told SuperSport TV.

''The race is not over, so when you continue like this and we think it’s over, it’s not over.

''We need to push until something happens, but what I can say is that our guys fought very well although we lost. What can I say it’s a great boost to keep moving."
