Kaizer Chiefs' woeful run continued as they<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/kaizer-chiefs-woeful-run-continues-as-chippa-united-humble-soweto-giants-in-east-london/bltab9ca27339b2a1aa" target="_blank"> lost 2-0 to Chippa United </a>at a fully packed Buffalo City Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Former Orlando Pirates' striker Bienvenu Eva Nga and Sinoxolo Kwayiba's first-half goals were enough to secure the Chilli Boys maximum points at home.

What happened? 

Chiefs coach Cavin Johnson has lamented conceding easy goals against stubborn a Chippa side.“As you said, one step forward, two steps backwards,” he told SuperSport TV.“I thought the first 20 minutes of the game belonged to us, we entered their area where we were supposed to score goals, probably 5-6 times."We break, we’re supposed to score but we don’t put it in the back of the net and then we suffer afterwards,'' he added.“Then we give away two goals, the first goal was very soft from an out-ball throw, the second goal we don’t put pressure on the ball and they also get into the box and they score two goals.''

'We gave away easy goals'

Johnson was full of praise for Darren Johnson after the Chippa goalkeeper made crucial saves against the Soweto giants.“Coming out their tails are high, we have to go at them. You see the second half, I thought we played in one half in the second half but again the goalkeeper makes a magic save with [Siyethembe] Sithebe’s shot,'' he said.''Ranga [Chivaviro] doesn’t put the ball in the ball in the net, Ashley [Du Preez] doesn’t come into the box to get something out of it.''

'The keeper made magic saves'

The former Black Leopards coach was also disappointed to see Amakhosi fail to take their chances and he insisted that they are always in a hurry when they are in the final third.“We’re just not calm enough in the box, the rest I’m happy with, they put the effort,'' Johnson added.“And the changes, I don’t think the changes changed the game so much. They were just not calm enough to put the ball in the back of the net.“We’re going take two steps back now and come back and really, really work on what we’re trying to achieve, because right now we’re in a little bit of a whole, and the people that can get us out there are the players. So, we take inspection in the players and take ourselves out.”

Not calm enough in the final-third

Chippa's co-head coach Thabo September revealed what made it easy to beat the Phefeni Glamour Boys.''We knew that Chiefs because they came here under pressure, they needed to make a point, but we tried to absorb the pressure in the beginning,'' September told SuperSport TV.''After that, we managed to get control of the ball and get them to turn around at the back, then we created more pressure.''And the longer the game went on with 0-0 it became a problem for Chiefs. Then that gave a chance to capitalise and the confidence grew and it gave us a boost.''
