Kaizer Chiefs will fight to overturn CAF Confederation Cup deficit, says Inacio Miguel

Kaizer Chiefs will fight to overturn CAF Confederation Cup deficit, says Inacio Miguel

Amakhosi suffered a 1-0 defeat against the Zambia Super League side in the first leg at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium last week where Alassane Diarra scored the only goal of the game in the 76th minute.

The return match takes place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium and Miguel is confident of a positive result to see the Betway Premiership club progress to the group stages.

"I am not even thinking about losing. There's no losing tomorrow, so I can't be thinking about something that won't happen. My mindset is only on winning," Miguel said in the Sowetan.

Last season Chiefs managed to overcome a 1-0 reverse against Angola's Kabuscorp to secure their progression to the second qualying round where they defeated Simba over two legs - with their run ultimately coming to an end in the group stages.

"We did it last season and we are capable of doing it again this season," added Miguel.

"It's all in our hands. In the first leg they [Red Arrows] were more aggressive than us and that's something we must change.

“Sometimes I feel like our team is too slow to get into the game, we delay to get our groove and Red Arrows capitalised on that and now it's our time to fight.”
