Speaking after Chiefs drew 1-1 with Sekhukhune United at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane — a result that left them stuck in ninth place on 31 points — the Tunisian coach expressed confidence that his team can sneak into the coveted top-eight bracket.

“If you look at the table, it’s a situation that will be resolved in the last game,” he said, referring to the fact that Chiefs are just one win away from sixth-placed AmaZulu and trail seventh-placed Cape Town City by only two points.

“We are going to do everything to qualify, and we are confident we can. We are playing at home and everyone knows how important it is going to be.

“We need the three points, and we would like to send a message to all our fans — we need them to come to our last game.”
