Kaizer Chiefs were once again on the losing side this weekend as they went down 2-0 to Polokwane City at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Chiefs dominated the game and created more goal scoring opportunities than their opponents. However, they were unable to find the back of the net. For much of the second half, Chiefs were reduced to taking potshots from distance as they looked for the equaliser, but nothing went in.
On the other hand, Polokwane City were able to find the net twice with the few chances they managed to create, much to Chiefs' head coach Nasreddine Nabi's frustration.
Speaking on television after the game, Nabi said scoring goals was their biggest problem this season.
“Polokwane created two opportunity, it’s two goals, Kaizer Chiefs create 265 opportunities, and we don’t score,” Nabi said when speaking to SuperSport in a post-match interview.
“But this is football. This is the problem of Kaizer Chiefs, to score. I think we are the best team in the PSL to create opportunities. We don’t have another solution, only to continue working seriously.
“The big problem for us is that if you don’t create, you don’t play... But I think the problem is only efficiency. This is the problem,” said the Tunisian.
Kaizer Chiefs will have a week to work on their goalscoring issues. On Monday next week, they will travel to Mbombela in Mpumalanga to take on mid-table TS Galaxy. A win in that game will see them move closer to the top teams in the Betway Premiership, while failure to pick up any points will see them perilously close to the league's bottom-feeders.
