Lupopo have drawn two games, lost one and beat MC Alger in Congo which has seen the ‘Group of Death’

Da Silva, 29, has been one of the few reliable men upfront for Amakhosi since joining them at the start of the current campaign. The man from Guinea-Bissau has scored four goals in his nine league appearances and converted the penalty in Chiefs’ 2-1 defeat to Stellenbosch FC in the Nedbank Cup last 32 round on Wednesday. But Khanye felt the encounter at the DHL Stadium wasn’t one of Silva’s best, adding that the forward should show more especially, because he
