Chiefs coach Nabi reveals what ‘disappointed’ him in Stellies clash despite victory 

Published on by

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has revealed what disappointed him during the Nedbank Cup clash against Stellenbosch despite advancing to the semi-finals.

Amakhosi clinched their Nedbank Cup semi-final place with a 3-1 triumph, Inacio Miguel, Mfundo Vilakazi, and Pule Mmodi all finding the net for the Amakhosi.

While Andre De Jong registered a goal for the home side, it ultimately served only as a consolation as Stellenbosch fell short against the visitors.

Coach Nabi admitted to feeling “disappointed” by the goal conceded. He pointed out that allowing a goal, especially in the match's closing stages when maintaining focus to secure the win should be the priority, was frustrating.

WHAT DISAPPOINTED NABI IN A MATCH AGAINST STELLIES

“It’s true that everyone is very happy, the supporters all across South Africa,” said Nabi.

“But we need to think like a big club, this was a test and we need to concentrate on the next test to go all the way.

“It was disappointing [to concede], but we knew that we were playing a very strong and tough team,” he continued. 

“Even after conceding the goal we kept believing that can come back and we were prepared for extra-time.

“That’s why we brought in Shabalala, Vilakazi because we were planning for extra-time, planning to give us that extra strength.”
