And too much should never be read into results of friendlies‚ test matches‚ call them what you want.

But‚ as the 2019-20 season approaches the one-third stage it does appear that Middendorp has some points to be pleased about.

A common suggestion has been that Chiefs might have had a good start‚ but at some stage lack of depth in their squad will catch up to them and it will all fall apart. It has to be added though that Chiefs were beaten 2-0 by Blomfontein Celtic when they also fielded their fringe players on Sunday."This is a test game where the purpose is to score‚ the purpose is not to concede too many over 90 minutes‚” Middendorp said afterwards.

“But that’s normal. It doesn’t mean that all of a sudden a player like Samir Nurkovic is a bad player‚ or Reeve Frosler‚ or George Maluleka‚ or Eric Mathoho are bad players‚ or Itu Khune.

Pitso Mosimane to Kaizer Chiefs: 'We move on‚ we meet again in two weeks'Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane was complimentary to Kaizer Chiefs – even labelling them league title favourites again – and politely played down fielding a B side against a stronger Amakhosi in his team’s 4-2 Shell Helix Ultra Cup defeat on Saturday. marc_strydom Maybe our friend Pitso fielded a second string team hoping to humiliate a Chief's strong squad and it backfired. Flipping and flopping now talking history and what could have been.

Castro scores first half hat-trick, Billiat destructive as Chiefs thump SundownsNever read too much into a friendly. And yet, a scoreline as dramatic as Kaizer Chiefs’ 4-2 thrashing of Mamelodi Sundowns in Saturday’s Shell Helix Ultra Cup at FNB Stadium cannot be quite so easily dismissed as insignificant.
