The Premier Soccer League giants drew the first leg of the second preliminary round against the Democratic Republic of Congo side at the TP Mazembe Stadium on Saturday, October 18, 2025, which means they are condemned to a win in the second leg.
A place in the group phase of the competition is up for grabs, and Amakhosi are favourites to secure the qualification ticket.
Ben Youssef speaks about what to expect
Ben Youssef, in an interview after the match, shared what the fans should expect in their next game and the second leg against AS Simba next weekend. The Kaizer Chiefs coach acknowledged that Simba are a good side, and they would take time to analyse their opponents before the next match.
Ben Youssef noted that, with the first leg now completed, the focus shifts to the return fixture, which he expects to be just as challenging. He acknowledged AS Simba’s quality, describing them as a strong and physical side rather than a purely tactical or technical one.
The coach also highlighted the team’s busy schedule, with a midweek clash against Siwelele up next, as they want to bounce back to winning ways in local competition after losing to Stellenbosch FC in the Carling Knockout Cup. He said they would take time to analyse the draw with AS Simba and prepare thoroughly for both upcoming matches.

"Ashley Du Preez should not play. Otherwise, it will be a guaranteed loss. These kinds of players do not deserve a Kaizer Chiefs batch. This player should be released. He is a certified "COW." YOU CAN PLAY HIM 100 TIMES HE WILL NOT IMPROVE. This is mediocrity at its best."

"This was a poor game. No urgency, no creavity, no intent, the we keep losing the ball cheaply. Simba had more chances created effortlessly than us."

"Sadly the fans have to pay to watch players who don’t care like Ashley Du Preez. Clearly he is one of the players who is a salary thief. Since he was bought from Stellies, he has not lived up to expectations 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮. He’s not going to improve anytime soon."
Mpho_mokgope added:
"This players need to take us serious, they need to held accountable there no way a professional player can a sitter like that come on, I’m afraid a player like Du Preez can never improve his been a promising player for years but no improvement. We going nowhere with such players."
