Furious Nasreddine Nabi criticises Kaizer Chiefs players for 'lack of professionalism' as John Maduka heaps praise on 'young' Royal AM players

Kaizer Chiefs were unable to maintain their 2-0 advantage as Royal AM made a comeback to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/kaizer-chiefs-let-two-goal-lead-slip-as-royal-am-capitalise-on-rushwin-dortley-and-given-msimango-s-poor-defending/bltd6b55b3d8cdbd8fb" target="_blank"> secure a crucial point </a>at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening.Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba found the net for Amakhosi within the first fifteen minutes of the match. However, Ayabulela Maxwele and Levy Mashiane scored for the KwaZulu-Natal team.The coach of the Soweto giants, Nasreddine Nabi, and Royal AM's John Maduka expressed their opinions regarding the match.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"I feel like today it's a lack of professionalism, we could have ended the game in the first half, this game could have ended with 5, 6, 7 or 8 goals, but we did not convert the opportunities that we had," Nabi told journalists.&nbsp;&nbsp; "Sometimes you don't score because it's a lack of collective, sometimes ego. If you don't respect football, football won't respect you.&nbsp;"I am very very frustrated, very frustrated about the two points that we have lost today because we controlled the game from the first minutes until the last minute, but that is what happens when you let the opponent live," he added.&nbsp;"Sometimes if you can't score, or convert your chances, if it's only three, or four minutes left, at least defend your lead then, so I don't understand what happened today."

'Chiefs could have scored eight goals'

"Yes, we have many positives from this game. We controlled the game, we played good football, we created too many opportunities," the outspoken coach added.&nbsp;"Kaizer Chiefs don't play bad, they play good football but they don't convert the chances.&nbsp;"What happened in the first 25 minutes was not acceptable, we had a lot of chances and we couldn't score goals. Even during half time, that was the speech that if we have to score, we should continue to score."

Positives from Chiefs players  

"I think for me it was a game of two halves, first half it was their game, and second half we took over and I think we were sharp enough in the final third. I am so proud of the boys," Maduka said.&nbsp;"It was not easy when you're down with two goals against a team like Kaizer Chiefs. Coming back and managing to get a point is something big because these are young boys."

Maduka proud of his 'young' players

Chiefs will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Polokwane City on December 8.While Royal AM will lock horns with Stellenbosch FC two days later in another league clash.
