Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando da Cruz believes his side are heading in the right direction, despite dropping points against Polokwane City.

The Soweto giants were forced to share the spoils with Rise and Shine after playing out to a 1-1 draw in the Betway Premiership.

Lebohang Maboe broke the deadlock for Amakhosi but an own goal by Brandon Petersen saw both sides share the spoils at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Da Cruz acknowledges there is room for improvement at both ends of the pitch, but insists the Amakhosi are heading in the right direction and must continue to trust the process.

“We must not doubt because we make good things but we’re not enough killers in the two boxes, our and the box of the opponent also,” Da Cruz told SuperSport after the game.

“But also, we make good things so we must continue believing in ourselves because we’re on the good way.”

Amakhosi will look to bounce back when they take on Golden Arrows in their next Betway Premiership encounter at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
