The Kaizer Chiefs’ CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg against PWD Bamenda of Cameroon, which was scheduled to be played Friday night at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, has now been changed to tonight. At 7:00 p.m. The postponement is not ideal for the Chiefs, who hold a crucial 1-0 lead in the first leg, but coach Gavin Hunt remains optimistic that Amakhosi can achieve a positive result.
Speaking before the game, which was delayed 25 hours as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the Chiefs, the Chiefs coach explains: “These are not the ideal conditions to prepare the team. We have made all our preparations and we have complied with all regulations, we are just waiting to play the match. The situation has an impact on our overall setup, including the many upcoming games. “
Hunt also gave an update on the Chiefs’ injury concerns, including that of defender Ramahlwe Mphahlele, who was injured in the first leg against Bamenda in Limbe on Sunday. “We have not included ‘Rama’ in this match as a precaution before our next league match. Samir Nurković and Reeve Frosler are still out, both are recovering from a variety of injuries, ”he confirms. “The Bamenda team is a typical Central African team, strong and with a great structure. We have a strategy to counteract their physical strength ”.
While the delay in play hasn’t been ideal, Hunt’s goal now is to get the Chiefs to the next round.
“I just wish things had been done better because they knew well in advance that they had to travel to South Africa. Now we change the game with a day, and from then on our start time has changed as well, ”he says. “We will do our best under these conditions to advance to the next round.”
The winner of this game will advance to the first leg where they will face the Angolan First of August in the first round.
Tonight’s game will be played at the FNB stadium at 20:00.
