Kaizer Chiefs' Stuart Baxter says he would have loved a CAF Champions League clean sheet against Township Rollers, but admits they were deservedly punished.

The Amakhosi narrowly beat Botswana's Township Rollers this weekend, with Tefu Mashamaite's late winner giving them a 2-1 win to take into the second leg of the tie.
Chiefs conceded a dangerous away goal in the tie, and Baxter knows that they should have killed the game off prior to conceding Segolame Boy's equaliser.
Speaking to Chiefs' official website, "We always tell the team it takes a second to score a goal," Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter reflects on captain Tefu Mashamaite's injury time winner against Botswana's Township Rollers. "I would have loved that we didn't concede a goal at home, but that's how it is.
"It was a quite common scenario. We opened brightly. We scored the goal. We continued to create chances, but we failed to score more goals. That's when you are looking for danger, especially against Rollers, who are too good a team to let something like that go unpunished. And they did punish us, scoring the equalizer early in the second half.
"Thereafter the game became a bit tricky. We wanted to score, but we also tried not to give the ball away in dangerous areas for Rollers to punish us on the break."
