Khanyisa Mayo scored the only goal of the encounter in the 58th minute to give the visitors the win. This gives them their second consecutive victory of the season.

Tinkler has now also won four successive matches against Amakhosi. He has defeated them more than any other side in his career.

“I didn’t even know [that he’s now won more games against Chiefs than any other side],” Tinkler told the press after the win.

“As a coach I play every game to win, irrespective of who the opponent is. The fact that I have  a good record against Chiefs, it bodes well for my CV I guess.” He stated

Khanyisa Mayo is finding the form which helped him finish last season as the joint top goal scorer, alongside Peter Shalulile of Mamelodi Sundowns

“His [Mayo’s] work ethic has improved immensely. He’s not reactive which was his problem in the first couple of games this season, he was very reactive to what was happening around him.

“Now he’s more active, he’s more sharp, he’s more aware of where he should be going, the spaces he should be looking to occupy. He’s gambling a little bit more, so I think that’s the important thing…his work ethic is back to what it was before.” the head coach added

The Citizens occupy fifth spot on the league table after the win. Eric Tinkler Pleased with His Record Against Kaizer Chiefs!
