Chiefs’ were a dealt a blow in the warm-up after losing Miguel to injury and with Kwinika injured, the coaches were forced to use left-back Bradley Cross, who ended up making the mistake that led to Richards Bay’s goal.

“Personally, I was not happy with our first half, of course we thought we started well the game, we were in the game but unfortunately, we conceded a goal on a defensive mistake, I believe as well we were a little bit shaky in our defence,” Kaze told SuperSport after the game.

“Probably, the injury of Miguel during the warm-up and the suspension of Zitha you have to change the whole defence as well. I believe that mostly that cost us the game, we have to do better, we’ve to do better.

“The only thing is to go back to the training field and work very hard and hope we get our players from the defence that are injured and suspended.”

When asked about Miguel absence, he added, “He felt something since in the morning, the medical staff tried everything from the morning before the game during warm-up to fix it and we assessed him during the warm-up and in the end, he lost his place and that’s what happened.”
