Nabi's Frustration Mounts As Chiefs Squander Lead

NASREDINNE NABIs frustration at Kaizer Chiefs' failure to kill off a match knew no bounds after Amakhosi dropped two valuable points against Royal AM at the weekend. And understandably so, for Chiefs had no reason to draw their Betway Premiership clash against the KwaZulu/Natal side they hosted out at Polokwanes Peter Mokaba Stadium.

When they raced into a 2-0 lead with the match not even a quarter of an hour old, courtesy of strikes by Ashley du Preez and Wandisile Duba ironically the two players who scored in the 2-1 victory over Richards Bay three days before at the same venue you expected them to win by an avalanche of goals. They created enough scoring opportunities to have rendered the match a no contest before the break.

But the former Glamour Boys of South African football again lacked ruthlessness in front of goal and were duly punished for that as the visitors turned the tables in the second half, scoring twice via Ayabulela Maxwele and Levy Mashiane to steal a point.

Deep in the bowels of the World Cup venue afterwards, Nabi struggled to keep his frustration bottled up I am very, very frustrated about the two points that we lost today.
