Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has provided his assessment of midfielder Tebogo Potsane, who made his second appearance of the season in a 1-1 stalemate against TS Galaxy.
The football gods smiled at Chiefs, who snatched a defeat at the hands of defeat with Ranga Chivaviro equalising at the death at Mbombela Stadium on Monday, after Samukelo Kabini had put the hosts ahead in the first stanza.
Chiefs seemed revitalized after Nabi made a number of changes in the second half, including the introduction of Mfundo Vilakazi and Tebogo Potsane, who both created plenty of scoring chances from either wing.

For Potsane, the match was only his second appearance of the season, having recently returned from injury.
The head coach has now called for patience over the 31-year-old's return to top form.
"He's a good player, but he's a player coming from a long-term injury," Nabi said after the match.
"We feel that he's a player that would have given you 60-70 minutes. When you look at his performance, he did very well in the first 30 minutes.
"It's only his second game of the league. We feel that he's only 60% of his capacity. He can do better," he continued.

With Amakhosi struggling for goals, Potsane could prove to be one of the side's key players for the rest of the campaign should he stay injury-free.
However, the former Royal AM star faces stiff competition for a starting place with Gaston Sirino, Pule Mmodi, and Christian Saile.
