Ntseki hails Kaizer Chiefs' goalscoring duo as Mmodi scores wonder-strike

Head coach Molefi Ntseki hailed a wonder-strike by Pule Mmodi alongside the impact of substitute Christian Saile as Kaizer Chiefs secured a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Stellenbosch FC in a DStv Premiership clash at Athlone Stadium on Wednesday.

Mmodi scored a sensational long-range effort in the 52nd minute before the energetic Saile grabbed a second to top off an impactful display from the substitutes bench.

Wednesday's win sees Chiefs record consecutive victories as Ntseki aims to get their campaign back on track after a difficult start to the 2023/24 season.

"I think the most important thing is the drills and the work we've put into our offensive players," Ntseki said post-match.

"They understand the demands, they understand the movements and they understand what technical execution we have to make in terms of getting goals.

If you look at the first goal, it was coming from the side to coming inside using combinations and in most cases when that happens, the defenders are moving.

"I think it was a very good decision for him [Pule Mmodi] to execute and be able to score that goal."

Ntseki was also full of praise for Saile who is emerging as a dangerous option in front of goal and a weapon off the bench.

"As for Christian, he is a very vibrant type of player who is always looking to score, that is why when he scored he came to the bench to celebrate," Ntseki added.

"I think he's a goalscorer and any striker if he scores goals, that's what makes him feel good about himself.

"I think that's what Ashley [du Preez] did last week and what Christian did today. That's what Mmodi did last week.

"If you look at our goals it's a combination of our offensive play leading to a goal to be scored."

Chiefs next host Mamelodi Sundowns in a tantalising MTN8 semi-final first-leg clash at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 15:00.
