Kaze: Comeback shows Chiefs can challenge anyone

CEDRIC KAZE saw enough in Kaizer Chiefs’ come-from-behind 1-1 draw with Zamalek to be convinced that Amakhosi can qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup knockout phase.

Two matches into the round-robin phase of the continent's secondary club competition, Chiefs sit third in their group with a single point. As expected, Egyptian sides El Masry and Zamalek are in control - the former on top with two wins, the latter on four points.

By holding Zamalek 1-1 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, thanks to a last-minute goal from Dillan Solomons, Chiefs have given themselves a fighting chance, although North African teams remain the favourites to progress.

Kaze sees it differently.

“T saw a team that believes in themselves, and that’s a team I believe is going to qualify,” said the Burundian coach, who shares technical leadership with Ben Youssef Khalil.
