BackpagepixKaizer Chiefs were dealt an early blow just three minutes in when Seifeddine Jaziri pounced on a misjudged corner from Brandon Petersen, steering his effort into the bottom right to hand Zamalek the lead.
The White Knights continued to carve out the better chances, but Amakhosi clawed back late as Dillan Solomons’ cross was turned into the net by goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi.
With a valuable point rescued, GOAL rounds up how fans reacted to Chiefs’ battling performance.
BackpagepixLebohang Maboe had a very good game. We have to start paring Maboe and Thabo Cele in the middle. When we subbed Sibongiseni Mthethwa, we started playing balls behind Zamalek’s defence and started looking dangerous.
We need Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in Mduduzi Shabalala’s position. He is way much more creative and a threat at goals with good physical strength. Mfundo Vilakazi is more of a game-changer than a full starter, especially when playing against physical teams.
Etiosa Ighodaro is a good striker but he needs constant supply, hence he keeps tracking back and most times not in the box. - TSTdee
BackpageGuys, we need a coach ASAP, these interns won't take us anywhere. We have coach Pitso Mosimane just sitting at home! - Raletman
BackpageWe need a serious accountability meeting with our fitness department. This is out of hand. Also, if players aren't ready, they mustn't be rushed back. - Gala_tweets
BackpageKaizer Chiefs don’t necessarily need to sack the assistants, just get an experienced head coach who will work with them. Squad selection, player profiling and decision-making will be our disadvantage if we continue with them as our co-coaches. - Unitedmightrise
BackpageThere is no sense of urgency in this team. Honestly, Zamalek is a weak side and we should have collected all three points. We need to have a deep introspection, Pule Mmodi and Inacio Miguel can rest until 2027, they give Chiefs nothing. - Tsebaie
BackpagepixPoor selection by the coaches compromised the first half. Pule Mmodi has never given Kaizer Chiefs anything. Asanele Velebayi contribution was visible. Inácio Miguel is a liability, his poor clearance led to a goal for Zamalek. Flávio Da Silva deserves game-time. - Chris
BackpageKaizer Chiefs had seven league postponements this season, but they still can't prepare enough to win even at home. - _Clarence18
BackpageKhalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze are very inconsistent with the team selection and keep overlooking the likes of Ngcobo for no reason. You can’t keep fielding underperforming players who cost the team in crucial games. - Msapetsi
BackpagepixThere’s no winning mentality at Chiefs! Solomons still wanted to celebrate the equaliser, that time Da Silva wanted to run to the centre to quickly restart and possibly steal the game. I saw that even Peterson wanted to waste time, ai guys! - CharltonMaks
GOALChiefs get Pitso Mosimane now! The interns must go and do their internship somewhere else. - TauYaPhaahla
