Amakhosi put derby behind them

Kaizer Chiefs are ready to bounce back after their shock defeat by Pirates.

They will get that chance tomorrow night against Bloemfontein Celtic in Polokwane.

Amakhosi take on Celtic in an Absa Premiership match at Peter Mokaba stadium. The two sides played to a goalless draw in Bloemfontein last September.

"The defeat by Pirates is history but despite the defeat, we are impressed by the team's spirited second-half performance on Saturday," said Chiefs' general manager, Bobby Motaung.

"We thank our supporters for rallying behind the team and our plan is to use the game against Celtic to get back to our winning ways."

The Free Staters are fresh from a 2-0 win over Santos and their CE, Khumbulani Konco, is confident they will sustain their winning momentum in Polokwane.

Celtic defender Mulomowandau Mathoho and company will have to be at their best to prevent Lehlohonolo Majoro and Siphiwe Tshabalala from scoring.

Jomo Cosmos are keen to end their run of stalemates and start collecting three points as the league campaign draws to a close, says Ezenkosi coach Jomo Sono ahead of their league fixture against Moroka Swallows at Sinaba stadium tonight.

"Now that the second round is in full swing, winning both the home and away games has become significant and non-negotiable," said Sono.

Cosmos will be hoping for revenge after Gordon Igesund's side beat them 2-0 in the first round.
