Chippa United gave Amakhosi “good workout”
Chiefs' coach Stuart Baxter is happy with their win and says there are 'good signs' for his team.
Kaizer Chiefs boss Stuart Baxter says he was happy with his side’s effort in their 4-2 win over Chippa United in a friendly match on Sunday.
Amakhosi were put under pressure in the first half when Chippa took the lead with just ten minutes the clock, but a rallied effort with goals from Kinsgton Nkhatha, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Tefu Mashamaite and George Maluleka saw them bounce back for a win.
The match was just the start of a series of pre-season outings and the English coach believes it was a good test ahead of next week’s Carling Black Cup tie against Orlando Pirates.
“It was a good workout,” Baxter said after the game.
“It was a good game of football, especially in the first half, it got a bit scruffy in the second half, we tried a different formation, we played with a diamond midfield and it helped us to stop them playing through us, but we lost a little bit of our width.
“But the players worked very hard, some good signs, some things we going to have to correct, but it was a good day’s work.”
