Kaizer Chiefs coach Hunt admits to taking 'a gamble with Billiat' against Horoya AC

The Amakhosi coach discusses how he managed to get the best out of his Zimbabwean attacker in a new position

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt says after arriving in Guinea last week without an outright striker, he threw the dice by fielding Khama Billiat in that position not fully sure of the Zimbabwean's fitness status.

Billiat played for 86 minutes and grabbed Chiefs' equaliser as they forced the Guineans to a 2-2 draw which gave them the passage to the Caf Champions League quarter-finals.

Prior to the Horoya match, Billiat had featured for 24 minutes in a Premier Soccer League match against Stellenbosch four days earlier, having last been last involved in competitive action in early January due to injury.
