Steve Komphela wants Chiefs to look ahead for next cup tie
Kaizer Chiefs have recovered from their Soweto derby defeat hangover and will not allow any sense of gloom to result in a shock loss to Stellenbosch FC in the Nedbank Cup‚ Amakhosi coach Steve Komphela said. Giant-killing acts by the lower-league teams are a feature of the Nedbank, and Chiefs have suffered upsets over the years. Komphela said he expected National First Division (NFD) outfit Stellenbosch to be a compact‚ tough prospect in the mould of their coach‚ former Pretoria University and AmaZulu boss Steve Barker‚ in Saturday night’s last 16 tie at Moses Mabhida Stadium. "They [opposition teams] … are all difficult and Stellenbosch as well‚ lying ninth on the [NFD] log‚" Chiefs’ coach said on Thursday.
