Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Daniel Matsau feels the Soweto giants do not have what it takes to beat Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of their MTN8 semi-final.
Amakhosi have a mountain to climb in the second leg of the semi-final following their blunder to allow Sundowns back into the game in the first leg.
Edson Castillo netted the opener for the Soweto giants, before Khuliso Mudau netted an equaliser in stoppage to secure an away goal for the hosts.

"It's going to be difficult for Chiefs to score a goal, Sundowns they are good at defending," Matsau tells KickOff.
"Both teams defend well, I see Kaizer Chiefs experiencing the same thing they saw last season against AmaZulu.
"Remember last season Chiefs were knocked out of the MTN8 Cup semi-final after drawing both legs with AmaZulu.
"The same thing is going to happen again this year against Sundowns. I'm worried about the Sundown's defence, it's so good.

"Maybe they can score one goal Chiefs, but to score two goals against Sundowns is going to be difficult.
"I think Chiefs blew it by sleeping at the back and allowing Sundowns to equalise, now Sundowns are going to dictate the second leg.
"I foresee another one all draw or else Sundowns will win 2-1. Chiefs will be chasing that one goal and in doing that they will be leaving some gaps behind.
"Resorting to ugly football helped Sundowns on Saturday, they started hitting those long crosses to the Chiefs' box. That's how Sundowns goal came and that is not how Sundowns play.
"Chiefs were not expecting that, they caught Chiefs off guard. What Chiefs did wrong was to allow Sundowns to play crosses into their box.
"Chiefs knew Sundowns as a team that penetrates. But on Saturday they couldn't penetrate Chiefs' defence."
