A brace from man of the match Khama Billiat and a sixth league goal for Keagan Dolly took Chiefs to 22 points from 13 matches, eight behind runaway leaders and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who have played a game less. “It was a bad mistake for us to concede that goal, but all in all 3-1 in the Soweto derby away from home is a good result.”
“With these three games we have had in such a short space of time the load on the players is enormous,” said Baxter.
