Kaizer Chiefs defender Dillon Solomons says counter pressing Stellenbosch FC’s strength of playing on transition nullified them in previous fixtures ahead of their Nedbank Cup last eight clash.
Amakhosi have already seen the better of the Maroon Army twice this season even though it was in the Betway Premiership. Nasreddine Nabi’s charges rallied from a goal down to win 2-1 before a narrow 1-0 away win in the corresponding fixture.

Chiefs advanced to the cup of dreams quarters after beating Free Agents 4-0 in the last 32 and then Chippa United 3-0 in the last 16 at home.
They will however this time around take trip down to Gqeberha with Solomons admitting that the draw is a tricky one but also explained how they have managed to deal with Stellenbosch’s speedy players upfront, which resulted in Chiefs beating them twice.
“It’s a tricky draw but a very good game of football for the fans,” Solomon told the media after the Nedbank Cup quarterfinal draw.
“For us is to stay true to our processes, obviously focus on what we need to do and hopefully we can come out of Cape Town with a win.
“I feel that we nullified their strength they want to play on transition and if you counter press them it’s very difficult for them to play on transition.

“For us I think it’s gonna be the main thing to stop the transition.
“Obviously, they have very speedy players and if you can stop that, we can nullify a bit but of their strength.”
