Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela will be hoping Amakhosi can produce entertaining football to satisfy the fans’ expectations.

The Glamour boys booked their place in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final after beating NFD outfit Stellenbosch FC 2-1 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium after strikes from Eric Mathoho and Leonardo Castro cancelled out Alan Robertson goal.

Komphela hopes his side can please the Amakhosi fans by producing entertaining football while also claiming a positive result in the process.

‘Football is a funny business. Last week [against Orlando Pirates] we performed well, and the result did not come. And you’ll say “do I want goals and not get [a good] performance” – they [the fans] will kill you for that,’ Komphela told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘They want you to win, and win in style, but if you can play in style and not win, it doesn’t satisfy them because they are people of success, so it is important to go for the win.

‘It has to be a sweet win and not a dry one.’

Kaizer Chiefs will now turn their attention back to the Absa Premiership when they welcome AmaZulu to the FNB Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00.
