Following his side's 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs in a league match on Saturday night, Ajax Cape Town goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola said he is happy with how his team is playing.

It has been a busy past seven days for the Urban Warriors which has seen them beat Chiefs 1-0 in the MTN8 final, lost 3-2 to Mamelodi Sundowns in the league and now claim a point at home to the Amakhosi.

Jaakkola believes the team is improving with each game and despite earning the 'man of the match' award on Saturday night, he does not feel he was that busy between the sticks.

"It has been a busy week for us. We had three big games," said the Urban Warriors shot-stopper.

"I am happy with how the team is playing at the moment and hopefully there is more to come.

"I think I had a quiet night against Chiefs on Saturday night.

"Usually I am the busiest player on the field, but it shows that we are doing better on the field when we can control the game and I do not have too much to do in goals."

Speaking about the goal he conceded against Chiefs the keeper felt he was a little unlucky.

"Siphiwe Tshabalala's initial shot hit my foot and they scored from the rebound, it was one of those unlucky goals," concluded Jaakkola.
