Vilakazi said that they always planned to go at Chiefs, but did call for an improvement on the defensive end. “Our plan was that we want to go to them, we have nothing to lose but to get something out of this game,” Vilakazi told SuperSport after the game.
He added that they need to improve in terms of their defensive structure. “If you look at the first goal, it was a throw-in. The players are not even facing- they took a quick one. So those critical moments we suffer a lot from them. But I think going to the second half we planned that we didn’t want to stay back but take the game to Kaizer Chiefs,” Vilakazi said.
He also said that they needed to lock down Dolly and the other player on the other side. “We allowed our fullbacks to go inside with them and our wingers had to stay and deal with their fullbacks and I think we did much better in the second half in terms of making sure we keep the ball and be creative. Still, not one of the best in terms of being clinical in front of goal but we’ll work on that. Other things cannot be rectified overnight, we need more repetition and we’ll work on that,” Vilakazi concluded.
