“Another tough game, a huge one against Chiefs, and they are a very good team, and on any good day they can punish you,” SuperSport head coach Kaitano Tembo said.
“So we just have to regroup, at least we have more days to try and recover because you could see a few tired legs with Jesse Don and Teboho Mokoena because of traveling with the national team.
