In the first game against them we equalised late. “Obviously we know AmaZulu are a good team, they're playing well. To get the goal from something we've been working on shows we're improving as a team. And we got the goal with a set piece, which we've been working on for long now.
I think we played better in the second half in terms of our pressing shape and putting pressure on them. “I think overall we defended well, we stuck to our game plan. “It wasn't an easy game having to wait for the lights to come on, going out to warm up and coming back again. “I think the trip to Maritzburg was a success in terms of us coming back after the Fifa break and getting the three points,” Chiefs winger Keagan Dolly said. Stuart Baxter's new-look Chiefs will know they will have to put in a shift again to beat an AmaZulu who, languishing in ninth after being runners-up in 2020-21, are as motivated for results to turn around coach Benni McCarthy's second-season syndrome. "Trusting in the process" is the term coaches and players reference in modern football. Neither of their last two wins were gained through sparkling football, but Chiefs' steadiness in application of their game plan grinding out the two results did catch the eye. Kaizer Chiefs will know that they can get themselves back into the title race reckoning if they can get a third DStv Premiership win in succession against AmaZulu at FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening (kickoff 5.30pm).Īmakhosi's 2-1 Soweto derby win at home against Orlando Pirates and 1-0 away result toughed out against Maritzburg United at tricky Harry Gwala Stadium on Sunday made for four victories from five league games and a mini-stabilisation from a rocky start to 2021-22.
