Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz insists that his side have what it takes to overturn the deficit against Red Arrows FC in Friday’s return leg.

Amakhosi suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Zambian outfit in their CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round first-leg at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

The Glamour Boys will look to bounce back and secure a victory when they meet in the second leg on Friday.

Da Cruz has called for unity among the players, technical staff, club and supporters following their 1-0 defeat to Red Arrows FC in the first leg.

“They shouldn’t be very happy right now. No, I know very well they are not happy. Because the results today at PSL, we don’t lose, we don’t win either.

“Today, we lost. But the first leg is a return match. We need the supporters for the game on Friday.

“To support us because I know that the team is able to reverse the result.

“What is most important is that in difficult moments we must stay united, players, staff, club and supporters to get through this period and get better results.”
