Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has opened up about what he told Ranga Chivaviro after his big miss in the first half against SuperSport United.

The Soweto giants booked their ticket to the quarter-finals of the Carling Knockout after thrashing SuperSport United 4-0.

Chivaviro squandered a couple big chances before he eventually netted Chiefs' third goal in the second half.

There were whistles from sections of Chiefs at the Peter Mokaba Stadium

"For Ranga Chivaviro, you know sometimes when a striker misses is not easy but this is football,"  Nabi told SuperSport.

"I don't need the emotional reaction like the fans, my responsibility is to support my player.

"I push him, I promise he will score."

The Chiefs coach also paid tribute to chairman Kaizer Motaung, who turned 80 this week.

"The first thing is before the game we spoke to the players, we showed them how important the victory of today is, it was our chairman's birthday two days ago, who is someone who has given so much to this club, with sacrifices," Nabi added.

"We wanted really, with the players, the staff, to honour our chairman Kaizer Motaung [Sr], we wish him a very long life of health and success," the 59-year-old coach added.
