Komphela happy with semi-final berth

Chiefs beat Baroka FC 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday night to book a spot in the next round of the competition.

Defender Erick Mathoho scored the only goal of the match for Amakhosi.

“I’m happy with the outcome. But could it had been better? Yes. I think first half we could have gone into the dressing room 4-0. But these things happen in football the most important thing is to move to the next stage and get the confidence,” Komphela told SuperSport TV after the match.

“All that I wish for is that the supporters must just support the players. Chiefs supporters are loving and peaceful. We want to see that prevailing forever,” he added.

“Pule has unbelievable game intelligence. Maybe being supported by Shabba [Tshabalala] two or three heads are better than one. If you can find someone that can help connect in terms of your thinking line, it looks better. He’s very quick. He’s got feet that I don’t understand how come this boy carries a ball like that. He’s growing in confidence.”

“I don’t know how much longer will I have to answer this one. It has to be about the supporters. As for me, I don’t want to lie I don’t know how I’m wired. It’s not about me as long as these people can get a trophy. I promise if it happens Chiefs go through [in the final] if it happens I get the medal I’ll throw it to one of the supporters in the crowd. Not that I don’t want it but because they deserve it more. For me, I’m a man at work, I may be at Chiefs for now but I’m in football.”
