Moroka Swallows head coach Steve Komphela has sent a message to Keenan Phillips, whose error led to Kaizer Chiefs' winning goal in the Soweto Derby.

The Amakhosi got back to winning ways after defeating the Dube Birds 1-0 at Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Phillips gave away possession while trying to play out from the back, allowing Christian Saile to step and slot past Daniel Akpeyi.

"Unfortunately in the second-half we lose to a mistake we could have done better but listen you gotta budget for these," Komphela told SuperSport after the game.

"If you're a man working with vegetables, you've got to smell veggies. If you're a man working in a meat market, you've got smell meat.

"The culmination of the goal we conceded is how we're used to playing, don't faulter anyone.

"The only thing that I think I have the responsibility to do is to go and tell Keenan Phillips: 'Listen, you have to live in the here and now. Don't forget what happened, it's gone, it's in the past but the greatest growth happens in discomfort'," he carried on.

"I don't think he will commit the same error again," he added.
