Amakhosi are on ‘right path’

- Sibongisen­i Gumbi

Kaizer Chiefs have found the key – or at least coach Arthur Zwane believes so.

Zwane revealed this after guiding the Naturena side to a 2-1 win over embattled Swallows FC on Wednesday evening.

Chiefs played with some fluidity and the scoreline could have been even more embarrassi­ng for Swallows had Amakhosi put to good use all of the chances they created at Dobsonvill­e Stadium.

Zwane was however left certain that they have found the right path and it is only a matter of time before Chiefs become a force.

“I think we can build from our first-half today and the game we played against AmaZulu, where we created a lot of chances and could have done better,” said Zwane.

“There is a light under the dark tunnel. Something (good) is happening. It might take time but what’s key is that even when we have bad days we grind out results.

“That will boost the confidence and belief of the boys that we are close and good enough to compete at this level,” added the Amakhosi mentor.

The Swallows win catapulted Chiefs to fifth place, where they are level on points with Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United, but with an inferior goal difefrence.

“We really want to be close to the teams up there,” he said of their climb up the standings in the DStv Premiershi­p.

“Football is unpredicta­ble. You never know, we might have started the way we did and we might finish on a high. That’ll be a chance for us to capitalise.”

Chiefs’ next assignment is away at Stellenbos­ch FC, who are an unpredicta­ble side this season and also getting into their groove.
