KHAMA Billiat who played a starring role in Kaizer Chiefs’ 1-0 win against Primeiro de Agosto on Tuesday to put the Soweto club through to their first-ever Caf Champions League group stages‚ says Amakhosi need to test themselves against the competition's giants. Chiefs became the first South African club to beat Primeiro in Angola with their 1-0 first round‚ second-leg win at Estadio 11 de Novembro after a 0-0 draw at FNB Stadium on December 22. Billiat was on form on the afternoon and produced the excellent run out of defence down the left and cross to set up Leonardo Castro’s 41st-minute winner. The Zimbabwean‚ along with Castro, a Champions League winner at Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016‚ thanked Chiefs’ management for putting on the charter flight to Luanda. Angola has shut its borders to South Africans due to rising COVID-19 numbers in this country‚ but made special dispensation for Amakhosi. “It’s a great feeling. I think credit goes to the technical team‚ and the entire team for their preparation‚ and us coming here with the charter flight – we really appreciated it‚” Billiat said. “And the whole effort that the chairman [Kaizer Motaung] is putting into the guys‚ and everyone. “It’s really important for us as well to go and test ourselves with the rest of the Champions League giants. “It gives us confidence as well going back to our domestic competitions‚ and we really want to go all the way. 'We want to make a difference‚ and push ourselves to the limit and see how far we can progress in Africa. “It’s really important and we give credit to the guys. 'We worked so hard‚ we stuck to the plan‚ and it wasn’t easy. It’s going to be very tough but we can only learn and grow as a team‚ and make sure we gel together and fight for one another.” Chiefs and their new coach Gavin Hunt — plagued by a two-window Fifa transfer ban — have had a shocker of a start in the DStv Premiership‚ with one win in eight matches. A club with a reputation for not having taken continental football seriously‚ often balking at the cost‚ have shown intent to progress in the 2020-21 Champions League‚ beating Cameroon’s PWD Bamenda (also 1-0) in the preliminary round. As Hunt throws in youngsters to build for the future — Njabulo Blom and Darrel Matsheke played beyond their years in Chiefs’ central midfield in Luanda — the Champions League group phase may well provide the best possible finishing school for such prospects. Chiefs were missing influential Lebohang Manyama‚ Willard Katsande and Itumeleng Khune on Tuesday. “Ja‚ it shows the quality that we have. Everyone is important. We really need to step up when they’re [senior players] not around‚ we really need to do what they were going to do‚” Billiat said. “And we speak to them on the phone‚ they motivate us in the group‚ they’re part of the team and we are together. “It really means a lot. They give us confidence and calm us down just sending their motivational texts on the (WhatsApp) group. “And we really know we need to fight for them‚ because we know that if they had been here they would do

BY HENRY MHARA SIMBA STARS . . . (1) 4 FC PLATINUM . . . . . . 0 (Simba Stars qualify to the Caf Champions League group stages on 4-1 aggregate) A LATE collapse by FC Platinum against Simba Stars of Tanzania in the Caf Champions League match yesterday saw the Zimbabwean representatives crash out of the tournament in the first round. After winning the first leg 1-0 in Harare, the Norman Mapeza-coached side needed just to avoid a defeat to qualify for tomorrow’s group stage draw. However, a haphazard and at times chaotic second half performance saw them collapsing in front of at least 30 000 fans that were allowed into the Benjamin Mokapa Stadium in Dar-es Salam. The home side scored a controversial first half penalty, converted by Erasto Nyoni, a goal that set themselves on the way to a comfortable victory. Ralph Kawondera missed a sitter for FC Platinum on the 58th minute, a goal that could have levelled matters and completely changed the complexion of the match. Three minutes later, he and his team were made to rue the missed chance as Shomari Kapombe side-footed a rebound following a mistake by goalkeeper Francis Tizayi, who spilled a long range shot. As the clock ticked 90 minutes, the score remained 2-0 and the game was well within reach for FC Platinum who just needed to score an away goal to go through. But John Bocco took the match beyond the visitors when he rolled in a cutback in the 91st minute before Clatous Chama made the win emphatic with a 94th minute penalty after he had been impeded inside the box by Gift Bello. FC Platinum played the match under protest after results of their COVID-19 tests done on the squad were released to their opponents first, while they only had access to them hours before the match. With five of the players returning positive tests to the virus, Mapeza was forced to make changes to his squad a few hours before kick-off. Four of the five affected players including goalkeeper Petros Mhari and midfielders Rainsome Pavari and Silas Songani, were set to start the match. Despite the pre-match hiccup, the hugely altered FC Platinum side initially looked comfortable as they allowed the home side to enjoy the ball but barely threatening. Mapeza’s men were first breached on the half hour mark when Luis Miquissone beat the offside trap, but Tizayi made a brilliant save to keep the shot out. A minute later, the Tanzanian outfit were awarded a penalty after Tawana Chikore pulled down his marker. FC Platinum players protested the decision, arguing that the referee had made a bad call. They had good reason to feel aggrieved as television replays showed that the incident happened way outside the area. It took over eight minutes for the visiting players to return to the field of play, and after the prolonged remonstrations, Nyoni hit the roof of the net to level the aggregate scores. FC Platinum players, still feeling hard done, were clearly losing their heads as they complained bitterly every decision that went against them going into the half-time break. Caf could be forced to look further in
