Chiefs fail to channel victory in Suez

KAIZER Chiefs started their CAF Confederation Cup group-stage campaign on a sour note after they were beaten 2-1 by Al Masry at the Suez Stadium in Egypt on Sunday night.

Chiefs are pointless in Group D and will hope to turn their fortunes around in their next game at home to another Egyptian side, Zamalek, at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.

This was not the ideal result for Amakhosi, as they not only suffered a loss but also saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. While Chiefs came into this match on a high following those wins, they were under no illusion that Al Masry would be easy to beat.

The hosts proved a tough nut to crack and were spurred on by their vocal supporters, who were in full voice from start to finish.
