Kaizer Chiefs take a 1-0 lead into the second leg of the Champions League. They have the benefit of playing the second match on home soil, at the FNB Stadium.

They grabbed an unlikely win in Casablanca last Saturday. Samir Nurkovic scored the first ever Kaizer Chiefs goal to be decided by VAR (video assistant referee).

Erick Mathoho says that they, as defenders, will need to maintain good communication and trust each other. This is how they are going to keep a clean sheet which would send them through to their first ever final.

“I think the way we are helping each other and communicating has meant everything is going a bit better defensively now.” Erick Mathoho tells the club website.

“We have to trust each other. Sometimes this season we’ve conceded goals through our own mistakes, but as players it is important that we learn from our mistakes.

“That is what we have been doing, which is why we are again keeping clean sheets now. We have to keep on improving and eliminating our mistakes,” he stresses.

“We have been following the coaches’ instructions and we did well as a team in managing to keep a clean sheet in Casablanca. As defenders, we have to be switched on all the time and remind each other to focus.

“I know it’s not easy, but we have to stay aware and keep things simple at the back,” Mathoho says.

Kaizer Chiefs has had a full week to rest and train for this crucial fixture. One of the most important fixtures in their history.

Wydad Casablanca’s first team also had a week to rest and prepare. They played their second team in the middle of the week, giving the first team opportunity to compete on Saturday.
