Dikwena were beaten 2-0 on their home patch at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace and seldom troubled their visitors throughout the 90 minutes.
Johnson maintains that although they were soundly beaten they were really not troubled by Chippa and the loss was due to their own inefficacy.
"I think they were still in the changeroom," he admitted to SuperSport subsequent to the game. "But in saying that I think that as a professional footballer if you make a bad mistake and you are not able to recover from that positively against a team that holds the ball this is what is going to happen."
