Nkosingiphile Ngcobo Wins Man of The Match as Kaizer Chiefs Win First Points of The Season! Gavin Hunt’s men deservedly walked away from the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium with all three points.
Kaizer Chiefs’ victory came courtesy of a Damon own goal deep into the second half. This was probably the only way that Chiefs were going to find a way past goalkeeper Mothwa.
Kaizer Chiefs hit the woodwork on more than once occasion in the match. This was coupled with Mothwa’s acrobatics in the Chippa United goal.
Gavin Hunt cut a discombobulated figure on the touchline. The experienced coach had no clue how Kaizer Chiefs failed to score all the opportunities they created.
Youngster Mshini earned himself the man of the match accolade. This was merited as his performance was highly influential for Kaizer Chiefs.
“Tonight, for the first time I think we looked like a proper football team,” Hunt said to SuperSport TV.
“I thought Njabulo Blom in midfield was outstanding. And that is the difference.
“We got a little bit of legs in there. Ngcobo for me I think he is a great little player.
“But the whole team for me, I think defensively looked good.
“Siya came in, did better, Zulu I worked with him one-two days at left back, we had to what we had to do. He was fantastic.”
Chippa United coach Lehlohonolo Seema had compassion for his team after the game.
“This is still a young team. You could see today; we did not get into second gear.
“I’m not angry with the boys’ effort, their fight. And we knew Chiefs would always be a threat on the set-pieces.
“And with Gavin Hunt that’s how they come,”
