Kaizer Chiefs coach Nabi laments missed chances and costly injuries after another frustrating result - ‘We should have scored more’

Kaizer Chiefs dropped two crucial points after a 1-1 draw with TS Galaxy in a match they could have won.

Wandile Duba scored the opener, his fifth of the season, making him the club’s top scorer.

Chiefs created several chances but failed to convert, missing the opportunity to climb the table.

TS Galaxy equalised through Mlungisi Mbunjana after a defensive mix-up following a save from Bruce Bvuma.

The goal came from a misdirected header that was not cleared, leading to a scramble in the box.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi expressed his frustration once again about his team’s poor finishing in front of goal.

After the match, he admitted he was tired and visibly frustrated with his players' lack of composure.

“It’s true that as well as the opportunities we got was through our pressing, timing, it’s what we worked on to prepare for this opponent, I’m tired of repeating myself on the chances we missing,” he said on SuperSport TV as reported by iDiski Times.

“We should have scored more than one goal – we gave the opponents a chance to stay alive and we know they are good in set-pieces, and we tried to make changes, and we unfortunately conceded from a corner.”

“We didn’t plan to bring on Dove but when Miguel got injured, we had to sub him, we wanted to bring in George Matlou and Tashreeq Morris to bring height for Morris, the official wasn’t fast enough when we wanted to change and we then conceded,” he explained.

“Unfortunately, we have to deal with these injuries, there’s nothing we can do, it’s penalised us a lot lately but there’s nothing we can do but deal with it and give confidence to other players.”

Chiefs Football Manager Bobby Motaung has appeared in a video circulating on social media where he confirms that the club is fully backing Nabi.

He emphasized that the management is not panicking and will continue to support the coach regardless of recent results.

This show of support came shortly after Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro confirmed he would be leaving at the end of the season.

Chiefs’ management’s public vote of confidence in Nabi shows they are committed to long-term stability.

The backing comes at a crucial time with the season nearing its climax and tensions running high.

What lies ahead for Amakhosi is a mammoth task as they prepare to face Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-final.

The clash could determine whether Chiefs end the season with silverware or another year without a trophy.

It’s a high-stakes encounter that could define their entire campaign.
