New Baroka FC coach Thoka Matsimela says he now sees why Kgoloko Thobejane once coined the famous phrase, "Football can kill you."
Following their 1-1 draw against DStv Premiership title contenders Orlando Pirates, Matsimela was left disappointed after his charges conceded another late equaliser.
Bakgaga have now conceded in stoppage time in their last three matches including their 1-0 defeat to Tshakhuma FC and the 1-1 draw with Golden Arrows.
"Seriously my man, how can the same thing happen once, twice, thrice?" Matsimela asks snl24.com/kickoff.
"It want to kill me? Want me to die now? Aah... this football. But don't worry it's going to come to an end my brother. It's not only against Pirates my brother.

"Do you remember the game when we were still growing [up], I don't know it's Swallows against what [Sundowns in 1997]. Do you remember that incident of Aubrey Lekwane scoring the winning goal for Moroka Swallows?
"So you mean when someone just went down [Screamer Tshabalala collapsing] and then... tomorrow someone will die, I'm telling you, because of football.
"I think if the team can manage to defend 90 minutes and concede a goal in the dying minutes... I don't think it's the defenders who have got a problem. If it was the defenders then the other teams should score maybe in the 20th minute, 25th or 30th minute you understand.
"We couldn't even manage to consolidate that four minutes. But we'll keep on talking to the boys, we'll keep on reminding them... haai with this one [football] we will die my man."
