Maritzburg United goalkeeper Richard Ofori is urging his teammates to remain upbeat despite being rock-bottom in the Absa Premiership.

Wednesday's 1-0 defeat Mamelodi Sundowns 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."
