Kaizer Chiefs have fought for the Absa Premiership title for more than a year‚ and ultimately deserve it‚ but know that it will take an almighty effort to secure it on “Super Saturday” against desperate Baroka FC‚ striker Samir Nurkovic has said.
Nurkovic’s presence results in goals‚ as was displayed as the Serb’s glanced header provided the assist for Khama Billiat’s ninth-minute winner in Chiefs’ 1-0 victory against Chippa United on Wednesday night to set up Saturday’s blockbuster final round.
“It’s a really important game for us‚” said Nurkovic‚ whose 13 goals as the league’s joint-fourth top-scorer have played a pivotal role in his team being within touching distance of what would be the Serb’s first league title. “I think this team deserves it because we were fighting for more than a year for that. And we have to go with a clear mindset‚ and just enjoy our time on the field‚ and‚ ja‚ secure the league.”Already in the second-last playoff spot on 28 points‚ Bakgaga know they need a win to escape it. Downs’ opponents Leopards are a point ahead of Baroka ‚ and can keep an eye on events at Bidvest Stadium‚ and if Chiefs are leading Lidoda Duvha might relax that margin against Downs.
“But‚ like I said‚ we were log leaders from the beginning of the season. We are going to give our best on the field and this is the only thing we have to think about right now.”
