Sekhukhune United striker Bradley Grobler has admitted that it felt ‘good’ to score a brace against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old veteran striker netted a brace to give Babina Noko a 3-1 win at the FNB stadium to hand Amakhosi their first defeat of the season. Thabang Monare scored the third goal to seal a win for Sekhukhune United, which saw them return to the top of the log.
Speaking after the match, Grobler explained why he enjoys scoring against Kaizer Chiefs.
“It’s feels great I gotta be honest. I haven’t trained in the last four days. I’ve had a throat infection; chest infection and I arrived at camp late yesterday and played,” he told SuperSport TV.
“Sometimes it’s nice scoring against teams that told you that four, five, six years ago you were old and past your prime so it’s good to be scoring against these teams.
“I think tonight was a big performance. A performance that’s probably gonna make people take us a bit more seriously, but we don’t want to put that pressure on ourselves. Obviously, we want to go on and win every game.
Bradley Grobler has scored 12 goals against Kaizer Chiefs
“We’d like to fight for the league and tonight I think a big stepping stone even though we’ve got a long way to go.
“There’s nothing against the team [Chiefs], like I said, the nice thing it’s a team that six, seven years ago told me I was old and past my prime, I must be honest, that feels nice [to score against them].”
Having played for 19 seasons in top-flight football, Grobler has made it a habit to score against Kaizer Chiefs. The ex-SuperSport United star has scored 12 goals across all competitions against Amakhosi.
