Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane was loath to gloat over their extended hoodoo against Orlando Pirates, saying theirs is to win every game they play.<\/p>\n

In beating their bitter rivals 1-0 at the FNB Stadium on Saturday through a freak own goal by Pirates’ Olisa Ndah, they recorded their second consecutive Soweto Derby league double over their opponents.<\/p>\n

Chiefs are now on a five-match winning streak against Pirates in the league, a remarkable stat considering Chiefs’ fluctuating form in those games where they’ve had different coaches.<\/p>\n

Zwane didn’t even flash a smile despite the success that brought them level with Pirates and Richards Bay on points despite their inferior goal difference.<\/p>\n

However, Zwane did display a smidgen of emotion when he said the win mattered for the fans.<\/p>\n

“We always want to put a smile on the faces of the supporters and make them happy,” Zwane said.<\/p>\n

“However, it’s just another six points for us because I don’t want our players to focus on just beating Orlando Pirates.<\/p>\n

“We want to beat every team that we come across, but this win was also important for us as a club and the history between the clubs.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we have to beat them.”<\/p>\n

The fact that Chiefs didn’t put Pirates away more affirmatively was a concern for Zwane, especially when the Buccaneers were a man down from the hour-mark onwards after Innocent Maela was sent off for a foul on Christian Saile.<\/p>\n

Chiefs, for all their erratic endeavour, needed Ndah, a defender who has endless misfortune against Chiefs, to nod in a speculative Edmilson Dove long ball.<\/p>\n

Zwane admitted they still have trouble putting away teams who are a man short, but said they’ll get better at that in their nine remaining league games.<\/p>\n

“It is a worrying habit, and I don’t know why because in training we try to have those kinds of functional sessions and drills,” Zwane said.<\/p>\n

“That’s to make sure we exploit those spaces so that we can draw them from places and create the opportunities.<\/p>\n

“We were forced to go wide in this game to create space because we played two strikers in the second half.<\/p>\n

“We only looked dangerous when we played the ball behind them and not in front of them.”<\/p>\n
