Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp was pleased with his sides defensive work rate against Black Leopards on Saturday evening.

The Glamour Boys secured their second consecutive win in the Absa Premiership after claiming a narrow 1-0 victory over Leopard at the Moses Mabhida Stadium through a first half header from Eric Mathoho.

Middendorp insists that his side are not looking to play ‘entertaining’ football but are focused on grinding out results.

‘After our last game, we had time to reflect on our defensive work. We have done much better defensively,’ Middendorp told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘Of course with the ball possession we were a little bit more clever, smart. But I think a fully deserved win.

‘It’s not about entertaining at the moment. We are looking for results. If we take the entertainment as our first priority, that is not the way.

‘We had to change today. There was a small issue with Bruce. But okay Daniel took over and did a good job.

‘We have heavy games coming against SuperSport and Cape Town City. But at the moment we are happy. We have six points and are in a good position.’
