Kaizer Chiefs players ‘giving their all’ ahead of 100th Soweto derby

Sport

Johannesburg – Coach Gavin Hunt is pleased with Kaizer Chiefs’ performances in the last few matches, saying his troops have been giving him their all and he can’t fault them for the unfortunate results.

Since the 4-0 defeat by African giants Wydad Casablanca in the CAF Champions League group stage late last month, Chiefs have enjoyed a decent patch.

They are unbeaten in their last three matches after one win and two draws.

On Tuesday night they shared the spoils with Petro de Luanda away in their fourth game of the group stage in the continental showpiece. The result placed them third in Group C with five points, level with Horoya Athletic Club, who are second.

“I am obviously disappointed but you’ve got to take a lot of things into consideration. I think we’ve been going for a good few months now,” said Hunt following the goalless draw with Pedro at the Estadio 11 de Novembro in Talatona, Angola.

After that, they’ll have a two-week hiatus due to the Fifa international break.

“We’ve got to get through the weekend and then we need a break,” Hunt said.

“We’ve got one last push over the weekend and then there’s the Fifa break. That’s going to help us to revive because you can see there’s mental fatigue because of playing up and down.”
