TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic has played down hopes of a top-three finish in the Betway Premiership.

The Rockets currently sit fifth in the league with 36 points from 26 matches (W9 D9 L8), four points behind third-placed Sekhukhune United and two behind Stellenbosch in fourth.

“We start from the bottom, and we fight for every point every game. We need to finish this season properly because our fans deserve that,” Beganovic said, as quoted by Sowetan.

Looking ahead to their final fixtures, Beganovic is focused on consistency over an unlikely late surge.

“We need to try and collect as many points as possible until the end. [...] We have three games to play: Sekhukhune, Richards Bay at home and then Orlando Pirates away. We have nine possible points to win. But if we can get four or six points, we can stay in the top five, and that can be a huge success for us.”

Reflecting on their recent 2-1 defeat to Magesi FC, the coach admitted his side fell short defensively: “We conceded two easy goals from set pieces after we made some mistakes. I think we didn't deserve to win that game.

“It is tough playing there because the pitch is small and it is not proper, the grass is not OK. [But] we tried to adapt to the game. It was tough. I don't complain, but we need to be better, especially how we defend set pieces.”

TS Galaxy return to Betway Premiership action on Sunday, hosting Sekhukhune United at Dobsonville Stadium.
