Stuart Baxter Proud Of Kaizer Chiefs Despite Being Eliminated

Kaizer Chiefs head coach, Stuart Baxter, was proud of his team's performance and insists he won't change his style of play.

Chiefs' CAF Champions League campaign came to an end after losing 2-0 to Raja Casablanca on Sunday night and 3-0 on aggregate.

However, Baxter was still happy with his side's display despite the lack of  goals in the second leg.

"It was a mental game as well, as Raja was thinking – do we go for the second goal, after the one scored in Durban, or do we defend," Baxter told the club's official website.

"Towards the end, we were pushing and pushing for the goal that we needed to get at least equal with Raja. That's when they punished us on mistakes."

"Most games are decided in transition and this game was a typical example. However, I will continue to have my players play like this, to always play positive and go forward to try creating a goal."

Baxter added that Chiefs should have been more clinical in front of goal.

"Still, my players did a good job tonight. But we failed to profit from the chances that came our way. We should have taken those and be more clinical. However, overall, I am proud of my team's performance tonight," he added.
