Durban - Premiership action returns this weekend with two high-profile MTN8 first leg semi-final clashes, pitting Orlando Pirates against Mamelodi Sundowns ...
The duo, alongside Makhehleni Makhaula, should be rubbing their hands in excitement at the prospect of facing their opposition's unsettled midfield. In his first two months at the helm, Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has overseen a mixed bag of performances from his team. Usuthu have never beaten Amakhosi in a cup competition and will look to make history over two legs.

But tricky AmaZulu stand in their way on Sunday in a match they need to be at their leggy best.

On the state of the Chiefs squad ahead of the MTN8 semi-final first leg against AmaZulu: We've been conceding silly goals at the back and need to ensure we ...
We are on the right track. Sometimes when they play away they will have five at the back and try and sit back and sneak in a goal and try and suck us in so they get into the spaces in behind. That’s the luxury we have, we have impact players and players coming from the national team, who did well in the national team setup. We just don't know how they are going to approach this game. We’ve been conceding silly goals at the back and need to ensure we tighten up the screws at the back and get the tactical understanding right. They have not been doing badly if you could look at where they are on the log.
For the record, Chiefs advanced to the MTN8 semifinals courtesy of a penalty shoot-out win over Stellenbosch FC in August.

More chances arrived for Chiefs as Njabulo Blom, and Makhehlene Makhaula were wasteful with their goalscoring opportunities. The substitute levelled matters as he latched onto a pass from Dillan Solomons to fire into the top right-hand corner of the net. Dolly replaced Siyethemba Sithebe at the start of the second period and almost made an immediate impact, only for his goal-bound shot to be blocked by Mothwa.
Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final encounter at the FNB Stadium on Sunday.
The midfield dynamo found himself in aches off space on the edge of the box but his curling effort ricocheted off the head of a defender and out for a corner. The speedy winger was delightfully played through on goal by Kgaogelo Sekgota and after his first effort was saved by Veli Mothwa, he then put himself in contention for miss of the season as he blazed over the bar with an open net glaring at him. The Glamour Boys, who had created a number of chances, finally found their goal as Dolly swooped in from close range after a well-worked move on the right.
