Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has urged caution despite his side’s favourable position in the group, insisting the job is far from done as Amakhosi still need a result in their final fixture to secure qualification.
The Glamour Boys secured a 2-1 victory over Al Masry SC thanks to goals from Flavio da Silva and Aden McCarthy at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
As a result, Amakhosi moved to the top of the Group D standings on 10 points after five matches played.
Amakhosi will now take on Zamalek SC in their final Group D match, which is scheduled to take place at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo on Saturday.
“Thank you so much I think the structure it was mentally so strong for the players to come here,” Youssef told SABC Sport after the game.
“It was a tough game, so difficult tactical game. We scored in the first half, but we started the second half and conceded a goal.
“But I have to say congratulations to the players. They showed strong character, big character and they scored a second goal.
“We haven’t done nothing, we still have another game to qualify, now we are leading the group but there’s still another game to play to qualify and we have to come back from Egypt to qualify with a minimum one point.”
