Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana Gives Us a Different Dimension – Arthur Zwane! Amakhosi got the better of Matsatsantsa this weekend.

Kaizer Chiefs beat SuperSport United 2-1 in the DSTV Premiership on Saturday night. Striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana scored his first two goals for his side in the victory.

Amakhosi went behind early on as Grant Magerman gave Matsatsantsa the lead. However, the Burundian striker then responded with a brace to turn the game on its head.

Arthur Zwane was full of praise for the striker. He had previously criticised fellow new striker Ashely Du Preez on failing to understand what is required of him.

Bimenyimana is having no such issues.

“Caleb is giving us a different dimension,” Zwane said to the media after the win.

“He is very quick and explosive to attack the near post. We need that type of striker and that’s why we had to take our time in terms of bringing someone in and make sure that when we brought him in, we had to complement him so he can fit into the way we play.

“Obviously, we had to profile him properly and be sure of the way he could help us. I always knew he was going to score goals for us,” he said.

This match was also an opportunity for new signing Edmilson Dove to play in front of the Chiefs faithful for the first time.

“You always need players of experience to help the younger ones, and also help the new players in the set-up settle in quickly, because we are trying to play with an identity, and we need those leaders.

“You need players that can understand and buy into that idea. So, having Khune and finding the right balance with Dove now has made a big difference.

“Having a natural left-footed player (Dove) in that position makes our passing channels in that area clearer and improves our tactical understanding. You must have seen that today.

“It was much better compared to other games when we were playing a right-footed player on the left and became predictable when we were building up from the back and opponents could easily plan against us,” he added.

Amakhosi are up to ninth after the win. Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana Gives Us a Different Dimension – Arthur Zwane!
