Zitha Kwinika reacts to scoring his first Kaizer Chiefs goal

Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika says it was a “bittersweet” moment when he scored his first goal since returning to his childhood club.

Last Saturday, the Meadowlands-born defender came to the rescue for the Glamour Boys when he scored a late equaliser against Marumo Gallants in a match that ended 1-1.

Kwinika was groomed in Kaizer Chiefs Development’s ranks and was promoted in 2014 before he left the club the following year.

Since the 28-year-old centre-back returned to the Glamour Boys at the start of the season, he has earned the trust of the coaches and fans thanks to his solid performances.

KWINIKA REFLECTS ON SCORING HIS FIRST CHIEFS’ GOAL

“Yes, true. It was a bittersweet moment. It could have been nicer, but I think everything works out for a reason,” Kwinika told Kaizer Chiefs’ website.

“I think after the mistake, there was something in me that had to go rectify things because obviously you want to get points and results, so yes it was.”

CHIEFS SHIFT FOCUS TO SUPERSPORT

The Soweto giants’ next DStv Premiership clash will be against SuperSport United at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, 17 September.

Kick-off will be at 20:00.

Kwinika says it’s time they grind out the desired results having had a bad start to the new season.

“SuperSport is a very good team with the players they have, but I think it’s for us also now to knuckle down, soldier on, man up and get the result. We need to start getting results,” he added.

“Black or blue, we just have to grind out results. Obviously, we are playing at home and it is something we spoke about as a team, that any team that comes to FNB must not come out on top so we are going to take it to them. We can’t afford to drop more points at this point in time.”
