Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has praised the impact of Mfundo Vilakazi after defeating Sekhukhune United on Sunday.
Chiefs got back to winning ways in the Betway Premiership after edging Sekhukhune 1-0 thanks to a late goal by substitute Vilakazi.
Ben Youssef explained that their patience paid off, as they opted not to take risks unlike in other matches where they lose it all towards the end.

"I think firstly I have to say congratulations to all the players, really it was the will of the players today, they did it everything right, like we said we played very (in other games) and in this game we played very well, we made a lot of opportunities to score," Ben Youssef said on SuperSport.
"Even in this game, in the first-half we made a lot of opportunities, we were unlucky. In the second-half we sent a message, because in every game in the second-half we take a lot of risks. But in this game we decided (not to risk), if we don't score, we don't lose.
"Like we said, we need a player like Vilakazi to get this opportunity to score for us, congratulations to the fans and maybe they will forgive us about the last loss against Golden Arrows," the Tunisian coach said.
"Now we have to prepare for the next game, cup game, we need to start to prepare, now we enjoy then tomorrow we start to think about the next game.
"We told the players to get the three points the most important thing is to stay focused, also focus not to concede and I'm sure we will score. Substitutions we made because some players felt tired. This game the players gave us solutions, Vilakazi gave us the three points."
