Wandile Duba makes huge Nedbank Cup claim ahead of beleaguered Kaizer Chiefs facing Mamelodi Sundowns in semi-final clash - 'We promise, we will deliver it for them'

Kaizer Chiefs were held to a 1-1 draw by TS Galaxy in a Premier Soccer League match at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

The result extended the Soweto giants' winless run in the league to four games.

While their chances of finishing the season in the top three are now complicated, forward Wandile Duba who was on target against the Rockets believes they can appease their fans after the difficult league campaign by winning the Nedbank Cup.

“Mistakes happen. We will fix it in the next game, and I will make sure that when I cross again, someone scores. We will fix it at training,” Duba said as per iDiski Times.

“I had to put my body on the line to get the goal to at least get the three points because we needed it a lot especially after the results from the games that we come from. Today [Saturday] we needed the win.

“The mentality has changed, it’s just that we lose concentration during the game and make small mistakes that we need to fix.

“The performance of today will give us a bit of confidence because of who we’re playing against next week, the biggest in this league, so…but even the draw will give us a bit of confidence for the next game," added the Amakhosi forward.

“Our fans know that we are trying and I’m sure they also get tired [of the winless runs] and step-by-step we will fix it.  Nedbank, we promise, we will deliver it for them.”

The Nedbank Cup is Chiefs' only chance of ending the season with a piece of silverware but their semi-final opponents Mamelodi Sundowns are currently standing in their way.

The PSL title is already out of their reach as they trail log leaders Masandawana by 28 points and the Brazilians have played a game less than the Soweto giants.

For an inconsistent side that has been struggling in the PSL campaign, it would be a remarkable achievement for Amakhosi to clinch the Nedbank Cup.

Following Saturday's draw with TS Galaxy, Amakhosi are preparing to clash with Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.

This season alone, they have already lost three times to Masandawana and Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi will be hoping that will not demoralise his charges.
