The win was also Tinkler’s 12th victory against Chiefs in his coaching career and also their fourth consecutive league victory over the Glamour Boys.
Speaking after the game, Tinkler said he wasn’t aware that he has won more games against Kaizer Chiefs than any other team as coach
“I didn’t even know. As a coach I play every game to win, irrespective of who the opponent is. The fact that I have a good record against Chiefs, it bodes well for my CV I guess,” Tinkler said after the match.
The former Bafana Bafana midfielder was full of praise for his star player Mayo.
“His [Mayo’s] work ethic has improved immensely. He’s not reactive which was his problem in the first couple of games this season, he was very reactive to what was happening around him,” Tinkler said.
