Kaizer Chiefs claimed the Cufa Cup after beating Marumo Gallants 4-3 on penalties at the Toyota Stadium on Sunday.
The match had ended 0-0 in regulation time and penalty kicks had to separate the two teams. Amakhosi’s coach said after the match that he was not pleased with how his side played. The Soweto giants face off against SuperSport United in the Carling Knockout Last 16 this coming weekend.
Speaking after the game, the Kaizer Chiefs coach said his side created lots of chances in the Cufa Cup but failed to score.
“It was a very intense game, it was an excellent thing [winning a trophy], but we created a lot of chances,” he said on SABC SPORT.
“Just like against Sundowns, we also created a lot of opportunities. This is a big, big problem [that we’re missing chances].
“I want a winning mentality. There are no friendly games. In friendly games, you need a positive attitude and a winning attitude. In exercises in training, I want to win.

“If I lose, it’s a problem. I don’t sleep. I want this mentality. We lose momentum in the game, we gave the other team the chance to gain control, this is unacceptable,” the Tunisian added.
“Secondly, we play cup against SuperSport, this is a very bad repetition. Maybe the SuperSport coach was watching and if we reach penalties again I need to change takers.”
Kaizer Chiefs fielded a strong team for the Cufa Cup with the likes of Miguel Inacio, Bradley Cross and Ranga Chivaviro playing.
