Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has sent a warning to his players after their 2-1 win over Al-Masry in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.

The Soweto giants moved to the top of Group D thanks to goals from Flavio da Silva and Aden McCarthy at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.

However, qualification was not secured as they needed to win by a two-goal margin and they will now need to avoid defeat away to Zamalek next weekend.

“Thank you so much I think the structure it was mentally so strong for the players to come here,” Youssef told SABC Sport after the game.

“It was a tough game, so difficult tactical game. We scored in the first half, but we started the second half and conceded a goal.

“But I have to say congratulations to the players. They showed strong character, big character and they scored a second goal.

“We haven’t done nothing, we still have another game to qualify, now we are leading the group but there’s still another game to play to qualify and we have to come back from Egypt to qualify with a minimum one point.”

The Soweto giants do not have any midweek assignments and can now use the whole week to prepare for their clash against Zamalek.
