Kaizer Chiefs Boss Gavin Hunt recognized his side’s febrility at the back as Glamour Boys claimed their second Dstv Premiership win on Wednesday.

Chiefs beat AmaZulu thanks to Samir Nurkovic’s only goal to take over the tenth place on league table.

However, that win was just their second this season as they concluded four draws and also four losses.

Hunt then admitted he side could have grabbed more points should they have been better at the back.

“Right now for us, any win is a big win. We should have won a few more games but the table doesn’t lie, and we’ve been poor defensively,” Hunt said after the match.

“But as I said from the start, if you get a guy like Samir playing in your team every week… It’s like what happened last year, he played all those first 10 games and he was brilliant, and scored all your goals and then you’ve got half a chance. We haven’t had that.

“We worked on a shape before we came here yesterday [Tuesday] to try a nullify them a little bit, [because] they’ve got some good players – they’ve invested in their team heavily up front.

“I knew their wide players are dangerous and, after the first half, they got in behind us once or twice maybe, but we had some really good chances.

“I thought Samir, who hasn’t played for 90 minutes [in months], was fantastic. I didn’t want to play him but we’ve only got one striker available, so it’s a problem.”
