Assistant coach Ben Yusuf speaks firmly following Kaizer Chiefs achievement of unusual milestone

This marked the third victory in a row for AmaKhosi, positioning them with 39 points from 21 matches and elevating them to third in the league standings, a spot that secures entry into next seasons CAF Confederation Cup.

This was the initial occasion Chiefs have secured a league victory after trailing since their 2-1 triumph over Stellenbosch more than a year prior in January 2025.

We anticipated a challenging match, which is typical when facing a side battling relegation, stated Ben Yusuf.

Thus it proved a demanding encounter. Our opening half hour was subpar, resulting in the early concession. The pace was sluggish. During the initial quarter hour, we dropped 80 percent of the duels. To secure victory, one must vie and strive in every contest.

However, we responded effectively, reflecting a positive attitude from the squad. The closing quarter of the first period and throughout the second, we executed our style, displaying our skill, accelerating the play, and advancing purposefully, the Chiefs assistant coach continued.

We generated numerous chances post interval. I am immensely proud of the teams effort. Moving ahead, sustained effort is essential. We must focus on the upcoming fixture. As I have mentioned previously, we approach each match individually, treating them as knockout ties, and now we shift attention to the next challenge.

Ben Yusuf noted that three consecutive successes for Chiefs would sustain their drive.

It significantly boosts assurance for the group, supporters, and all involved. Maintaining this positive streak is crucial. We must persist in competing, preserving this upbeat atmosphere and vitality.

Chiefs aim to extend their run to four straight wins against TS Galaxy at home this Sunday at Soccer City.

From tomorrow onward, preparations for that encounter begin. The key is concentrating solely on our execution, as delivering todays level will lead to another success.

Yet every match poses difficulties. Thorough readiness and concentration are vital. We should not dwell excessively on this result. Today we savour these points, but from tomorrow, we refocus intently on the forthcoming test.
