Chiefs must slow Stellies down

Thatayaone Ditlhokwe says Kaizer Chiefs must be wary of the pace of Stellenbosch FC when the two teams meet in the Betway Premiership this evening at FNB Stadium.

Amakhosi were hit by a fast counter-attack from Cape Town City on Sunday as they slumped to a 1-0 loss, already their fourth league defeat of the campaign.

"Stellenbosch are a speedy team, it is about trying to deal with the space behind us and to always be first to the ball," Ditlhokwe told reporters at the Chiefs Village yesterday.

"On top of that we have to wait and hear what the coach gives us a strategy, so we can follow it and block them."
