Two wins from two matches! 'We will win' - Kaizer Chiefs coach fires stern warning to Orlando Pirates ahead of Soweto Derby after Free Agents victory & teary George Matlou breaks down after Man of the Match performance against Free Agent in Nedbank Cup

Kaizer Chiefs dominated Free Agents FC in a Nedbank Cup last 32 match as they beat them 4-0 at the FNB Stadium on Sunday evening.

Pule Mmodi netted twice, while Inacio Miguel scored his second goal for Amakhosi, with Ranga Chivaviro also registering his name to the scoreboard. 

A visibly emotional George Matlou, who was awarded the Man of the Match accolade, shared his joy after delivering a great performance.

Meanwhile, Chiefs assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef and his Free Agents counterpart Olaitan Oladeru also reacted to the result.

"It's a bit emotional for me. It has been a really hard journey for me because It's not easy to be out of football for nine months," Matlou told SuperSport TV after the match. 

"So I am grateful to my medical team and to the coach for believing in me. It wasn’t easy for me, but I thank God that he gave me strength and here I am today playing.

"I also want to say thanks to my teammates for always helping me to be the George that I know. The journey hasn't been easy for me because playing for Kaizer Chiefs is not easy," he added. 

"Everyone wants to play for Chiefs but no one knows how it is to be here, so I'm privileged enough and honoured to wear the Kaizer Chiefs jersey." 

"Firstly I have to say thank you to Free Agents, honestly I don't think it's a team for the third division, they have got a lot of ideas inside, some structure," said Ben Youssef. 

"Congratulations to them. For us, I think a tough game, when you play against a team from a lower division is always difficult for our players to prepare for the game mentally.

"The second problem we had is the derby next week, some players start to think about the derby, scared of injuries and yellow cards. You saw we made three substitutions to protect our players from yellow cards," he explained. 

"We had four players on three yellow cards, namely Mduduzi Shabalala, Yusuf Maart, Njabulo Blom, and Samkelo Zwane, so we tried to manage this game, we had to stay focused and also think about the derby," he added.

"Congratulations to the players for the performance, I think this is the second time we made a clean sheet. The team is progressing (but) still we have a lot of work. We're so happy for our players."

"Honestly we have a good team, not very good players but a good team. They all play for Chiefs and they can play from the start for the badge," said the outspoken coach. 

"We have good players, good ambition inside, they want to progress. We always, try to keep the fitness of our players and also to try to manage the team. 

"The derby is 50/50 for both teams (Chiefs and Pirates). We have our ideas, they have their ideas, we will see next week. We will win, we will see next week during the match." 

"It was a very good experience, like I said, what do we have to worry about? We came against one one the biggest teams on the continent, we only had to give our best, and our best was not enough," Oladeru said. 

"This game means a lot to my players, they understand the value of the game, imagine coming against people you want on TV all the time. They understood the assignment, but it is what it is. 

"It is also a good experience for me considering that I am coming from coaching in Ekasi, festive tournaments, just look at the atmosphere, we learned a lot and it will help us going forward." 

Chiefs will take on Orlando Pirates in a much-anticipated Soweto Derby match at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, February 1.

Conversely, Free Agents will return to their ABC Motsepe League commitments, enriched with experience gained from their match against Amakhosi.
