Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane believes the head coach Molefi Ntseki is on the right track to turn things around at the trophy-starved Soweto giants.
Chiefs were unlucky to be held to a dramatic 1-1 draw by Mamelodi Sundowns after a stoppage time equaliser in an MTN8 first-leg semi-final clash.

"The supporters need to exercise patience, I'm worried about those who are saying the team is not playing football," Mlwane tells KickOff.
"I don't understand what the fans want, they need to exercise patience. Do they want to win or to see football that is pleasing on the eye?
"What is important is a win, because it builds momentum and the structure, then everything else will follow.
"Remember, it's points to close the gap between you and the teams above you, not beautiful football.
"Yes, you still need to play quality football, that's what we need, not beautiful, nice football that will take us nowhere.
"All we need is to be able to see if our move is going to end up in a goal, we should not be getting goals out of nowhere.
"I'm happy for Ntseki because he is going to build on top of those two wins.
"Winning your games is what brings you confidence. People should not forget that this is a new team that is still gelling.
"They are still getting used to each other's strengths. Players are still learning to cover each other's weaknesses.
"Every person in life must be given a chance. Yes, there is still some work to be done, but we are happy with the foundation.
"We still need to build a structure though, because it's a structure that builds consistency.
"Ntseki needs to put more work into training so that they play quality football.
"He is definitely on the right track, but the likes of Mduduzi Mdantsane are still losing a lot of balls."
