Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has emphasized why they have a long way to go after a 2-1 win over Richards Bay on Wednesday night.
Wandile Duba gave Chiefs a 1-0 lead heading to the break but Amakhosi were down to ten men just after the interval after Reeve Frosler received a second yellow card and was dismissed.
Ashley Du Preez gave The Glamour Boys a two-goal cushion midway into the second stanza.

Yamela Mbuthuma pulled a goal back for The Natal Rich Boyz in added time but Amakhosi held on for the narrow win.
"The process is not one match, it's not because we win and the process is good, no, no. This is Kaizer Chiefs. The objective or the level of Kaizer Chiefs is high," Nabi told SuperSport TV.
"Mentally it's good, some moments of the game was good but without consistency and efficiency in third zone, we need more work.
"The three points is very good for the club. Mentally it's not easy, you play the second-half with ten [men] but for the process...This is Kaizer Chiefs. Remember Kaizer Chiefs before with [Siphiwe] Tshabalala, Doctor Khumalo, this is high level. Not like today."
The Soweto giants created plenty of clear-cut chances but could not convert.
The Tunisian went on and suggested that it has been the story of their season so far.
"Exactly, this is a big problem for the team. It is not only for this game. Maybe all the teams [we played against] we created too much opportunities without scoring," the former AS FAR Rabat coach said.
"Maybe the confidence of the striker, maybe the focus, I don't know but we will work hard," Nabi added.
