Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Cavin Johnson has revealed he the instructions he gave to Nkosingiphile Ngcobo before his impressive goal in the first half.
Ngcobo's solitary strike in the first half was enough to give the Soweto giants a 1-0 win over Richards Bay on Saturday afternoon.

The Chiefs midfielder found the back of the net with a neat run and even better finish and Johnson revealed he informed the player about getting into the pockets.
"First-half, we told him straight, 'You know what, the pockets are there, you're just coming too deep to get the ball, you have to get it a little bit deeper'," John told SuperSport after the game.
"And that's what happened, he scored the goal, good luck to him, he's improving, I'm happy for him."
Ngcobo did pick up the Man of the Match award after the encounter and revealed the words from Johnson leading up to the encounter.
"Throughout the week, the coach told me that I must hold that position behind the central defenders, so that I can turn and take shots or play through-ball," Ngcobo said.
The Soweto giants will now turn their attention to their final game before the break as they take on Sekhukhune United next weekend.
