Caf Champions League: Simba SC deserved to beat Kaizer Chiefs 6-0 – Eymael

The Belgian tactician praises the Msimbazi giants for their gallant display against Amakhosi but insists damage was already done

Luc Eymael has blamed missed chances for Simba SC’s failure to overturn the first leg defeat in their Caf Champions League fixture against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

The Msimbazi giants had suffered a 4-0 defeat in their first-leg quarter-final clash at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg and needed to score at least four goals at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Saturday to advance to the last four.

Simba produced a gallant display and managed a 3-0 win courtesy of a double from restored captain John Bocco and Zambian midfielder Clatous Chama, but the win was not enough to see them through to the semi-finals.
