Youssef hails Kaizer Chiefs' winning start to Premiership season
Kaizer Chiefs' first assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef, standing in for the absent head coach Nasreddine Nabi, said he was pleased the team had started the season on a winning note after their 2-0 Premiership win over Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium. 'We promised the AmaKhosi family a win, and we are also pleased for our coach and his wife. We are so proud of our players,' said Youssef afterwards. 'Our players played very well. We suffered a little bit in the first half because, after we scored following their red card, we thought that we had finished the game.
