Zwane though, new as he might be to the head coaching job, has been taking it all like a seasoned professional.
“Whenever the team is doing well, we lose players to injuries. We have been unfortunate when it comes to that — losing key players when we need them the most. But as coaches we will come up with a plan because we have a very good squad that we have assembled this season.”
That much was proven against Royal, with Amakhosi dominating the match despite that early setback of losing Frosler.
Perhaps most impressive was the showing of new signing Christian Saile, who made a telling contribution on debut. The 22-year-old Democratic Republic of Congo striker's bright introduction — setting up Chiefs' 85th-minute second as he beat Thabo Matlaba for pace and squared for Ashley du Preez to finish — would have negated to some extent the losses of Frosler and Solomons.
Former Bafana Bafana left-back Sifiso Hlanti struck in Amakhosi's first in the 60th.
Chiefs, who bounced back from three successive defeats against Royal, meet TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
