Bianchi explains why Kabuscorp lost to Chiefs

Bianchi pointed out what went wrong against Kaizer Chiefs and opening up on the reason behind their defeat at the FNB Stadium.

“First of all, I want to congratulate Kaizer Chiefs on their win,” he said after the match.

“We had a very strong first half, but I believe the pressure and mindset of our young players played a part in how the game unfolded. We were clearly the better side before the break. In the second half, the match opened up more as we adjusted our tactics.

“We switched to a system with three defenders at the back and three players pressing higher up the field, which limited Chiefs’ chances early on. Ultimately, the match was decided by penalties, and as we know, penalties can be like a lottery — this time, Kaizer Chiefs handled it better than we did.”
