Kaizer Chiefs And Raja Casablanca Player Ratings
Soccer Laduma rates the individual performances of the Raja Casblanca and Kaizer Chiefs players, after the Moroccans recorded a 2-0 win over Chiefs. Kaizer Chiefs ratings: Itumeleng Khune: 6 Hardly had much to do and was helpless for both goals. Siboniso Gaxa: 5 Made a mistake that led to Raja's first goal and looked uncomfortable at left-back. Tefu Mashamaite: 6 Looked solid for large parts of the 90 minutes but he had his hands full with Ighodaro. Morgan Gould: 6 Looked solid throughout the first half but had to be replaced due to an jury. Tsepo Masilela: 6 Another who only played 45 minutes but he was solid on the left flank, when he was on the field. Reneilwe Letsholonyane: 6 A quiet showing from the Chiefs midfielder and gave away too many balls when in possession. Willard Katsande: 6 Another solid showing in the middle of the park but hardly had any major impact. George Lebese: 6 Missed two big chances, most notably the second, but he did look lively on a couple of occasions. Mandla Masango: 6 Only came to life in the second half and went close with a volley but was guilt taking too many touches when he was teed up by Rusike. Bernard Parker: 6 Not the best of showings from the Chiefs number 10, who hardly contributed in attack. Matthew Rusike: 6 Continued to run tirelessly upfront but hardly had a effort on goal and he had to drop deep in order to get the ball. Substitute: Eric Mathoho: 6 Was solid after replacing Gould, and had an opportunity to score, but seemed indecisive when shooting, and shot over. Kgotso Moleko: 6 Did well after coming on at halftime, and made some crucial tackles in the right back position. Siphelele Mthembu: NA Was not on the field long enough to receive a rating. Raja Casablanca ratings: Hicham El Allouch: 6 Proved to be a quiet evening for the Raja shot-stopper. Adil Karouchi: 6 Looked defensively sound throughout the 90th minutes. Mohammed Oulhaj: 6 Proved to be a solid showing in the heart of the defence and frustrated the Chiefs attackers. Mostafa Belmkadem: 6 Belmkadem did well alongside his skipper and was solid throughout the 90 minutes. Abdeljalil Jbira: 6 A decent showing from the right-back, who was solid defensively, although he hardly got forward. Kouko Guehi: 6 Did well to protect the back four and frustrated the Chiefs in attackers in the final third. Mohammed Ali Bamaamer: 6 Deployed alongside Kouko and put in a solid showing throughout the 90 minutes. Yassine Salhi: 6 Showed glimpses of what he can do but was hardly effective and was replaced in the second half. Vivien Mabide: 6 Looked lively in the opening exchanges but faded as the game went on. Jawad Issine: 6 The winger was quiet in the first half but saw more of the ball as the second half went on. Osaguona Ighodaro: 8 Raja's match-winner on the night, worked tirelessly throughout 90 minutes and popped up with two clinical finishes. Substitutes: Abdelilah Hafidi:6 Added another body to the Raja midfield in the 60th minute, as Chiefs were seeing most of the ball. Salaheddine Aqqal: NA Brought on the 79th minute but hardly made an impact. Walid Sabbar: NA Was not on the field long enough to receive a rating.
