Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela says he wants to build on his side’s performance against Maritzburg United after advancing to the next round of the Telkom Knockout Cup on penalties.

The Glamour Boys played out to a goalless draw against the Team of Choice in the Last 16 but managed to progress to the next round winning 4-2 on penalties.

The 49-year-old admits that his side scrapped through the round of 16 but he insists that his side will bounce back in the next round of the knockout tournament.

‘We wanted to see ourselves in the quarterfinals,’ Komphela told the Kaizer Chiefs website.

‘The priority in a knockout competition is to progress to the next stage. And thanks, we scrapped through this round. The performance was uninspiring but after a win, you are able to rectify the performance going to the next match.’

Komphela says his side were guilty of not converting the early chances in the match and insists that his side should’ve been more composed on the ball.

‘We had clear one-on-one opportunities early in the match,’ he added.

‘We should have simplified things early in the game.’

Kaizer Chiefs will now turn their focus to the Absa Premiership when they take on Orlando Pirates at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Kick-off has been set for 15:30.
