Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane says his side will do “everything in their power” to walk away with a positive result when they come up against rivals Orlando Pirates in the next edition of the Soweto derby.

Amakhosi will be out to claim bragging right in their next DStv Premiership encounter when they welcome Pirates at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

The Glamour Boys are currently on a two-game winless run in the league after they were held to a 2-2 draw by TS Galaxy, while Pirates recently returned to winning ways following their win over Golden Arrows.

Chiefs find themselves sitting in fifth place on the table with 18 points from 12 matches, while Pirates are a place and a point above them in fourth position.

Zwane is confident his side can turn their fortune around and walk away with a positive result as well as bragging rights in the Soweto derby.

“We came here to execute a plan but it was not to be. We knew how we wanted to approach this game. We began cautiously because they had the advantage of an away goal (from the first leg) and they were slowing the game down and committing fouls to interrupt our momentum and, at some point, maybe we played into their hands a little bit and allowed them to do that,” Zwane told his club’s official website.

Putting on a brave face, he added, “We can here today wanting to win the game at all costs but it was not to be. We didn’t lose the game. They went through on their away goal advantage and the boys did well.

“We still all really believe in ourselves. You win some, you lose some and sometimes you draw, like today. We are all disappointed that we couldn’t do it and the only right thing to do now is move on because we can’t change it.

“Now, we shift our focus to the next game, which is Orlando Pirates. They have been doing very well so we have to do everything in our power to do well and come out with a positive result.”
