Nasreddine Nabi Explains Why Kaizer Chiefs Lost to Sekhukhune United

Kaizer Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi has explained why the Glamour Boys suffered a 1-3 defeat at home against Sekhukhune United on Tuesday, September 11, 2025.

Bradley Grobler struck twice, with experienced midfielder Thabang Monare adding a third, while Flavio Da Silva scored Chiefs’ lone goal, his second in as many appearances.

Speaking to SuperSport TV after the match, Nasreddine Nabi admitted that the result was disappointing and pointed to costly errors as the main reason for Kaizer Chiefs’ defeat.

“We made too many mistakes that led to goals, particularly from long balls, and that punished us,” the Tunisian mentor explained.

Despite signing several new forwards this summer, the Kaizer Chiefs coach highlighted inefficiency in attack as another factor that led to their defeat at home.

Going forward, we weren’t sharp enough in our build-up. Yes, we created chances, but we failed to take them. Sometimes football just doesn’t go your way, and today our opponents deserved the win,” Nabi added.

“The season is still long, and for me, this was just a setback. We need to regroup quickly and prepare properly for the knockout stage, which requires a different mindset. It’s important the players move on from this result and give their best in the upcoming games,” he concluded.
