Mngqithi: No motivation needed for Chiefs clash

GOLDEN Arrows head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has suggested that his players will not need an extra push when they face Kaizer Chiefs this weekend, insisting the occasion itself will fuel their hunger.

Arrows are riding high after snatching a dramatic 2-1 victory over Magesi FC on Wednesday night at the King Zwelithini Stadium.

It took a 95th-minute strike from Nqubeko Dlamini to complete the turnaround after the visitors had opened the scoring and threatened to leave Umlazi with all three points.

The win, hard-fought as it was, ensured Abafana Bes'thende are carrying momentum into one of their biggest fixtures of the season.

Next on their agenda is a clash with an unbeaten Kaizer Chiefs outfit at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday a venue where the Soweto giants are often backed by swathes of their travelling support.

Mngqithi, however, brushed aside concerns about rallying his players for such an occasion.

He argued that motivation flows naturally when the opponent is Amakhosi.
