Kaizer Chiefs head coach Molefi Ntseki says their game model is starting to come out because the players are starting to feel confident after a 2-0 win over Stellenbosch.
Chiefs won two league games in a row for the first time this season thanks to goals from Pule Mmodi and Christian Saile.
Ntseki says their confidence was boosted by their thumping win over AmaZulu but also credited goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, who was named Man of the Match, for keeping them in the game.

"Congratulations to the boys, I think it was very important for them to get this win, now we've got six points which was very important. I think the confidence comes from the game we won last week and the belief to say 'We're courageous, we're confident, this is one game we have to do well'," Ntseki told SuperSport TV.
"And I must say I think Brandon did very well, he kept us in the game and I think he deserves to be Man of the Match but all the players that came to represent this brand they did well for the game.
"I always say to the players you can't make a good team if you don't help me to be a good player, so I think it starts with the individuals, the belief that they have in whatever tactical work we're working on, it is the players that have to carry it out," he said.
"And I think also that analysis, for it to happen, to work out it's the players. So we really want to congratulate them, we've done our part as the technical team in terms of analysis but the stage was for them today to do well for the team."
The former Bafana Bafana coach went on and said that their patterns are starting to develop because of the confidence in the team.
"I think the most important thing is our game model, that comes from the pre-season. I think it is coming out very well for now but a game you can't see the success of a game model if the players don't have confidence in what they are doing, if they don't know what they are doing," he said.
"I think we were very right to say the midfielders, the defenders, the goalkeepers, the front players, there is that cohesion, that understanding, which is very important."
The Glamour Boys have scored five goals and have not conceded in their last two games and Ntseki says it's all about team effort that they are starting to grind out results.
"Congratulations to our defensive approach, not only our defenders and the goalkeeper. I think we're doing very well as a team out of possession but at the same time we're doing very well as a team in possession," he carried on.
"You can't create chances and score those chances if ever you don't have support for it to happen. I think technically and tactically today we were spot on in terms of our finishing."
