Kaizer Chiefs head coach Khalil Ben Youssef was pleased with his side after they secured their qualification to the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Glamour Boys returned to winning ways after securing a 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United in Polokwane on Sunday.

Goals from Tashreeq Morris and Mfundo Vilakazi saw Amakhosi walk away with the win and all three points at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

As a result, Chiefs secured their qualification to next year’s CAF Confederation Cup with two games remaining in the season.

“I think we discussed many times the minimum this season is to qualify for the CAF, now one of the targets we did. We said the first thing is to play compete and play again the CAF every season and that’s the minimum for the fans, the team for one of the biggest team in South Africa and in Africa,” Ben Youssef said.

“Now, we have to think still two games – we have to stay focus, to compete to get the maximum points. I think about the game – the player showed very good character today. Very tough mentality after the strong game that we played in three days against Sundowns to repeat.

“I’m so proud of the performance of the players, the commitment, desire they showed in this game. Congratulations to them and congratulations for the fans and congratulations for all the family of Kaizer Chiefs,” he concluded.
