Overview

  • Chiefs beat Kabuscorp 1-0 at FNB Stadium to level the tie 1-1 on aggregate and prevailed 5-4 on penalties, with Aden McCarthy converting the decisive kick.
  • Assistants Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef continue to lead the team as Nasreddine Nabi remains absent after licensing issues kept him off the CAF bench.
  • Chiefs will face the winners of AS Simba vs Djabal in the final qualifying round, with Simba 1-0 up from the first leg and the return fixture scheduled for Saturday.
  • Kaze acknowledged persistent scoring problems this season and said the staff will keep working to improve finishing.
  • Khanyisa Mayo was ineligible for the Kabuscorp tie but will be available for the next qualifier and is set to feature against AmaZulu, who will be without Siyanda Hlangabeza.
