“I am happy with my team,” commented coach Giovanni Solinas after the 4-1 thumping of Cape Town City on Saturday afternoon, before adding a few words on debutant Lebogang Manyama. “Lebo played well.”

Siyabonga Ngezana, Khama Billiat (twice) and Philani Zulu netted the goals.

“From the bench to the field of play, the spirit was great,” continued a visible elated Solinas. “The supporters played a big part in this victory and we thank them for all the encouragement. I also wish to thank my players for the good result and the excellent performance.”

The Italian arrived in Cape Town not having won a league game since joining Amakhosi. After the win, however, the Chiefs coach urged his charges to remain humble and grounded.

“The best of Kaizer Chiefs is still to come,” vowed Solinas, explaining that “we used the FIFA international break to fix a lot of areas. The boys worked hard to prepare for this match.”

The Glamour Boys have climbed up the log ladder thanks to the win, although the exact position will depend on the outcome of the games played on Sunday. But seven points from six games have taken Chiefs, at this stage, to fifth position on the Absa Premiership log.
