Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela says the festive break could not have come at a more inconvenient time for his team after a second successive win propelled Amakhosi into second place on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) standings. A late goal ensured a 1-0 victory over Ajax Cape Town at Two Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday night as Chiefs rounded off 2017 with a victory and now look ahead to a crunch meeting with SuperSport United on January 6‚ after a break of just a few days for the  festive holidays. "We hope we’ll keep up the momentum but we now have to go off for a minor recess and be back for the game against SuperSport," said Komphela. "It feels more like an international break where you are just about to get your momentum and then there is a stoppage. We’ll have to come back again and try fight and get into SuperSport with the energy we showed against Ajax."
