Comments

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane explained what worked for his side against Royal AM in the Nedbank Cup.

Amakhosi narrowly defeated Thwihli Thwahla 2-1 after extra-time at the Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday evening curtesy of a Thabo Matlaba own goal and a late penalty from Yusuf Maart. 

Zwane said that his team's high tempo forced Royal AM into mistakes and he couldn't fault his players who he reckons were in control for majority of the encounter.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "Zwane: They Came Here With Only One Thing On Their Minds..." story: 

"Chiefs just can't score a goal in open play," says isamashala. 

"Chiefs is the weakest team I have ever seen, can't win a game without refs, red cards, penalties, offsides and freekicks," says arriejacobs89. 

"I remember seeing the first goal of Chiefs in open play against Gallants. I saw Pirates winning on penalties against Dondol," says abelmotaung50.

Royal AM coach John Maduka says they made things difficult for themselves after Matlaba's own goal. 

The own goal cancelled out Lesego Manganyi's opener before Maart's winner and the former Maritzburg United coach felt Royal AM's opponents weren't in the game before Matlaba's bizarre error in the 36th minute. 

Although Maduka mentioned that his team didn't play the way they normally do, he credited their fighting spirit that took the game to an extra 30 minutes. 

Here's how the readers reacted to the "Maduka Bemoans Timing Of Matlaba's Own Goal" story: 

"Thabo Matlaba is NOT a soccer player. He plays karate," says Slimtony7.

"How much did they promise Matlaba, he also cleared the ball instead of scoring a sitter yesterday," says HelsTheMan. 

"Don't worry coach, it's something that happens to everyone facing Chiefs, go and watch the semi final, you will see what I'm talking about," says Mami@georgedale.

"Your team were forced to make those mistakes John," says ivanambraal1.
