“I am happy with the goal,” Miguel told SuperSport TV, after heading in Chiefs’ third strike of a 23 minute blitz that blew Usuthu away at the start of the game. The 28 year-old was named Player of the Match.

“But most important is the three points. Congratulations to my team, we were fantastic, we worked during the week and we knew what we wanted to do during the game.
