As the teams clashed after almost two years without coming face to face in the PSL, it was Chiefs who again cruised home winning the game once more by a three goal margin as the final score on Wednesday evening was 3-0 in favour of Chiefs.
One of The Amakhosi’s goal scorers in Rustenburg Wednesday and the scorer of Chiefs second goal, in some what spectacular fashion Onismor Bhasera has hailed the performance of his team mates complimenting them and saying that Wednesdays win was down to a great over all team performance. Bhasera started the move which saw him and Kaizer Motaung Junior combine with good effect before he was on the end of Motaung’s cross in the 77th minute, and on the goal line he knocked the ball home with a spectacular scissor kick to score his first ever goal for The Amakhosi.
Cutting edge
It was some quick thinking by Bhasera which saw him disposes a Stars player as he raced towards their goal with the ball, he played a quick side lay off to Kaizer Junior who in turn saw the Stars keeper off his line and moved wide before knocking the ball over a stranded Kennedy Mweene which found Bhasera who rounded off the move by slicing the ball home. As Bhasera explains from three yards out he was not going to let the opportunity of getting his first goal slip by, as he says “when I saw that ball in the sky I first thought about jumping up and heading it home, as it was falling I thought of finishing it off in style. The keeper was caught in no mans land and I had time to go for the spectacular and that is what I did, come on I thought it is for my first Chiefs goal why not make it one to remember”.
Team work
According to Bhasera Chiefs convincing victory was down to a united team effort which in the first half saw the defenders do their job, and in the second it was the turn of the strikers plus one defender in the number three jersey who won Chiefs the game. He adds “in the first twenty minutes we knew that Stars were going to make it a tough night for us, so we ground out the first half and got the break early in the second. If you look at all our goals it was really quick thinking on our part which saw us find the back of the net, to be successful you need all the departments to do their job and that is what happened on Wednesday for us”.
Fast forward
It was really strange to see a defender playing so fat forward when he managed to initially some where past the half way line win the ball, and set up the attack which lead to his goal. Bhasera believes that the team were playing so well at that stage of the game that every one wanted to get involved, “at the time we scored our second goal we were really in control of the game and needed to find a cushion goal to calm our nerves. I gather it was the way the game was going that I landed up being so far forward, when I managed to get the ball from that situation there was only one thing in my mind and that was to ensure that we finished off what we started. Kaizer must get a lot of the praise of thinking quickly when he found Kennedy off his line; he took just one glance and got the ball up to me accurately”.
