Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane was delighted with how the younger players performed in the win over Maritzburg United on Tuesday evening.
Ashley Du Preez, Keagan Dolly and 18-year-old Mduduzi Shabalala found the back of the net as Chiefs defeated the Team of Choice 3-0 at the FNB Stadium.
Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Njabulo Blom and Shabalala all featured in the second half for the Soweto giants and their performance certainly impressed the coach.
"Ja look you know sometimes football is a funny game, I think the past game we played very well compared to today and we lost the game," Zwane told SuperSport after the game.
"And today we played in patches but we were clinical in front of goals and it could have been more.
"But I'm so proud of mostly the youngsters, you know who came on and kept the very same tempo, they took the game to the opposition because were already worried that they dropped the tempo at some point.
"And allow them back into the game and their confidence grew and they could score at any given time from dead-ball situations or open play.
"But I must give credit to their team, they've got a very good team and a good coach but it wasn't to be in terms of them getting a goal today.
"But I think our defence did very well, led by Zitha Kwinika, so ja the defence did very well. What is important today is us keeping a clean sheet.
"Also Bruce [Bvuma] did very well but made a few errors that he needs to work on but going forward is never going to be easy, we still have a very long way to go. It's that inasmuch as we're in a rebuilding phase but we're still grinding results."
