Delighted Nasreddine Nabi makes promise to Kaizer Chiefs fans after convincing win over Chippa United as Thabo September makes admission about Amakhosi - 'The sauce that we are cooking is coming along'

Kaizer Chiefs advanced to the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals after hammering Chippa United 3-0 in the Round of 16 match at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.

Amakhosi's players had decent performances, with the club's standout Gaston Sirino, defender Inacio Miguel, and winger Pule Mmodi netting the three goals for the Glamour Boys.

Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi made noteworthy comments following the match, while his Chippa counterpart Thabo September acknowledged that the hosts outperformed his team.

"As we said earlier the game was not going to be easy, we happened to score early in the game but after we noticed at the end of the first half, we let the opponent take control of the game. We tried to rectify that in the second half and the performance was good and we won," Nabi said on SuperSport TV after the match.

"Step by step, step by step, we will come back. We go step by step, with no pressure, we work seriously and Kaizer Chiefs I promise you in the future we will come back. Now we don’t come back, but we will come back, step by step.

"They are very good players [Chiefs young players] and we feel that those are the present and future of the club and we just need to add some ingredients but we feel that the sauce that we are cooking is coming along," he added.

"Thank you very much for the support, we work seriously, every time it’s not every time but it’s ok. If we have some problem, I'll be honest with you. I will give some work. Thank you and come more for supporting us. Honestly, I love them too much."

"We had some loose passes, especially in the first half, we were losing the ball in the first half although we had some opportunities," September said after the match.

"It will not always go our way, but we had opportunities, there were moments in the first half that we could have scored from them.

"I think in the second half they managed us very well and we moved the ball slowly at the back, so we just have to move on and focus on our league game against Cape Town City."

While waiting to learn about their Nedbank Cup quarter-final opponents on Monday, February 17, Chiefs will be getting ready for their PSL match against SuperSport United on Tuesday at the FNB Stadium.

On the other hand, Chippa will concentrate on preparing for their forthcoming league match against Cape Town City at the Athlone Stadium on Tuesday.
