Steve Barker accuses Kaizer Chiefs bench of deliberately slowing the game down & scoring lucky goals - 'They created chaos'

Kaizer Chiefs hosted Stellenbosch FC on Wednesday night in the Premier Soccer League game staged at the FNB Stadium.

The visitors scored first through Khomotjo Lekoloane but Wandile Duba's brace sealed the deal in favour of the Soweto giants.

However, coach Steve Barker was not impressed with the Kaizer Chiefs bench led by Nasreddine Nabi.

"I don't think Kaizer Chiefs would have been good enough to score against us had we not made our errors which basically led to the first and second goal," he told the media.

"Then after we tried to get ourselves back into the game. The last 15-20 minutes unfortunately became a lot of stop-start, a lot of cramps, a lot of slowing down the game, a lot of chaotic [incidents].

"The opposition staff on the bench created chaos needed for them to see out the game," Barker concluded.

Stellenbosch will have to focus on their Caf Confederation Cup assignment against Stade Malien Bamako hoping to get a favourable result to advance.

This is the first time Stellies are taking part in the continental competition.

However, for Chiefs, the win is vital in their quest to push for the top positions. They are currently fifth on the table with 18 points, 12 less than leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who have a game at hand.

Amakhosi are still in the market for quality players to help them be consistent.

Nevertheless, the Wednesday win is welcome ahead of another winnable game against Golden Arrows on Sunday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
