Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane felt his side should have scored more goals to”kill off” the game against Richards Bay over the weekend.

The Glamour Boys returned to winning ways in the DStv Premiership following their narrow 1-0 victory over Richards Bay at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

Siyabonga Ngezana’s eighth minute goal proved to be the difference in the game as Amakhosi went on to secure maximum points away from home.

The win sees Chiefs move up to fourth place in the league standings – level on 34 points with rivals Orlando Pirates in third place, while Richards Bay currently occupies sixth place on the log with 31 points after 22 matches.

“Yeah, I think we started very well, we scored a goal and immediately after scoring a goal we slowed down the tempo and from the touchline we were trying to send the message across that let’s put them under more pressure and let’s get the second goal,” Zwane said on SuperSport TV.

“And we did actually, we created about two, three clear-cut chances, we did not take them, then they got a red-card, then we took the foot off the pedal immediately, we could have capitalised on that.

“And I told them even at half-time that ‘This is the chance for us to score three, four, five goals’ in one game you know. When was the last time we scored three, four, five goals?” he asked.

“And in the second-half I could see that we were giving them time and space on the ball and it was a worrying factor because anything could have happened, from a corner-kick, from a counter-attack.

“So we needed to kill the game off, we kept pushing the boys from the bench that got the killer goal, then we’ll get the third one, ja we didn’t get it but we did create chances,” he continued.

“(Wandile) Duba had about two, (Kamohelo) Mahlatsi also could have done better. This is one game where we could have scored more goals and it’s still a worrying factor for me that we don’t take the chances that we create.’
