Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane was delighted with his side’s goal-scoring prowess in their 3-0 defeat of Maritzburg United on Tuesday.
Ashely Du Preez (4′), Keagan Dolly (24′), and Mduduzi Shabalala (90+5′) were all on target at the FNB Stadium for a comprehensive AmaKhosi victory.
It was a welcome result after losing the opening game of the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season.
Speaking after the match, Zwane admitted his team could have played better at times but he was happy with the result.
He told SuperSport: “Ja look you know, sometimes football is a funny game, I think the past game we played very well compared to today and we lost the game.
“Today we played in patches but we were clinical in front of goals and it could have been more.
“But I’m so proud of mostly the youngsters, you know who came on and kept the very same tempo, they took the game to the opposition because we were already worried that we may drop the tempo at some point and allow them back into the game and as their confidence grew they could score at any given time from dead-ball situations or open play.”
Chiefs next play Mamelodi Sundowns away from home at the weekend.
