Kaizer Chiefs defender Lorenzo Gordinho thanked his teammates and the Coach for giving him the advice and support after he made his debut in the gold and black colours of the Glamour Boys. ‘Micasa’ as he is affectionately known, was promoted from the Development during the 2012/13 season. Since then ‘Micasa’ has been knocking on the door to get his opportunity to play and contribute towards the Amakhosi’s success.

“I am very happy at the moment and even though I caused the penalty I thought I did well for the team. Sometimes the first games don’t go the way one has planned but I did well to come back in the second half from the mistake I did in the first half,” said Gordinho.

“I am happy that we drew the game. My head did drop a bit because I felt I was going to cost the Team but I kept on working hard. I will take this experience forward in a positive way. I will look at my mistakes and rectify them and move on to progress with my game,” commented Gordinho.

Gordinho played the full game when the Amakhosi played to a 2-all draw against Maritzburg United on Tuesday night, at Harry Gwala Stadium.
