Royal AM coach John Maduka said having a lead enabled his team to tighten up at the back and ramp up the pressure on Kaizer Chiefs as the Durban team humbled Amakhosi 4-1 in their DStv Premiership match at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Maduka admitted Royal were stretched by Chiefs' crisp movement early on. But after Amakhosi came out slugging and failed to score, and lost steam, Victor Letsoalo's 34th-minute strike profiting from looseness at the back by the Johannesburg team handed Royal the leverage to increasingly pressurise the home side.
"We started the game very slow, though we had the first chance when Victor Letsoalo hit the post," Maduka said afterwards.
