Lehlohonolo Seema says Siwelele will build on important point away to Kaizer Chiefs

Seema's side have been struggling this season, with just two wins, two draws and six losses from their opening ten league games, to sit in 15th place on the league standings.

Prior to playing Chiefs, Siwelele recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants.

While they weren't able to make it two wins in a row, Seema praised his charges for recording their first away point.

Speaking after the game, he said in the Sowetan: "I think we're more than happy. One would ask, 'Why are you happy? You didn't win the match'. This is our first away point since the season started.

"We will build on this point. We didn't get a point against a team that wasn't playing. This is a Kaizer Chiefs team that played today, and it was dangerous the whole 90 minutes."

Seema added that he is not worried about his side's early season form.

"Credit must go to the Siwelele players. I think tactically we were spot on. We wanted to get an early goal, but the goalkeeper [of Chiefs, Brandon Petersen] pulled out some good saves. All in all, I am proud of the players," the coach said.

"We could even get a point in previous games, and we were number last. When we get three points at home in our next game, you will see how big this point we got today against Chiefs is. We are not worried that we remain in the relegation zone."

Siwelele are next in action against Sekhukhune at home on Friday.
