Nedbank Cup: Da Gama heaps praise on ‘clever’ Kaizer Chiefs

The Lions of the North manager has credited his men for their hard fought win over Amakhosi

Highlands Park coach Owen Da Gama has credited his team for their gallant fight against Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup, saying Makhulong Stadium is their fortress.

The Lions of the North defeated Amakhosi 5-4 on penalties after extra time on Saturday afternoon to reach the Last 16 round. The former Bafana Bafana boss also credited the Soweto giants.

‘ODG’ also reflected on their success to defend set-pieces against coach Ernst Middendorp’s men who are always seen as a threat when using the likes of Leonardo Castro and Samir Nurkovic.
