Komphela: We Have To Look Forward

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Steve Komphela says his charges must move on from the goalless draw with Polokwane City.

The AmaKhosi registered their second straight goalless draw on Tuesday evening, as they missed the chance to move top of the Absa Premiership log.

"Polokwane City didn't make it easy for us in as much as we controlled the game.

"There was a chance with Ramagalela with a header inside the box and another one where (Rendani) Ndou had a turn inside the box, Itu (Khune) kept us in the game. We also had chances where I think the match could have gone either way.

"We always want to win every match it's just a pity we couldn't win this one. We have to look forward, there's nothing we can do about this 90 minutes it's gone.

"We have to look back and check what areas we could have done better. There's one chance of Pule Ekstein and another from Shabba, those chances do count. You get one of those chances then the whole story changes. But we'll take a point."

Vilakazi: It’s Been A While Since Sundowns Tasted Glory

Mamelodi Sundowns’ Sibusiso Vilakazi says that is has been a while since the Brazilians tasted glory but they will try their best to go all out and claim the Telkom Knockout Cup this season. Sundowns will lock horns with Chippa United later this month, October, in the round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout competition, with Head Coach Pitso Mosimane’s side keen to retain the trophy which they last won in 2015. Speaking after the TKO draw took place, Vilakazi revealed that after Sundowns failed to progress further than the quarter-final stages of the MTN8 competition, the Telkom Knockout will be an opportunity for the Chloorkop-based club to dust themselves off. “It’s been a while since we tasted glory, in the form of a trophy on the domestic league. We will try by all means to get this one for the team, for ourselves and for the supporters. But with that said, we aren’t looking forward too much. We will take it one game at a time. First, there is Chip...

We’re Going There For A Win

This week, we hear from Supporters Club Committee Member Masilo Machaka on the TKO last 16 results, as well as the upcoming quarter-final round. On the Telkom Knockout Last 16 results Firstly, I’ll start off with the encounter between Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu. I think the Chiefs players played their hearts out, they showed character on the day and there was unity amongst them. They played for the badge of Kaizer Chiefs and I commend them for that. What really caught me by surprise though was the game between Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns. Who would have thought that Sundowns would be knocked out of the tournament in the early stages? I don’t know how their supporters are feeling after the performances of their beloved team over the past few weeks and I’m sure they are asking themselves, ‘What’s next?’ They are out of the Telkom Knockout, but that’s football. Football is unpredictable – you win some and you lose some. Ha...
