KAIZER Chiefs coach Vladimir Vermezovic praised Arthur Bartman after the Amakhosi goalkeeper produced a sterling performance in their 1-0 Absa Premiership victory over Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday.
Chiefs took the early lead when Thomas Sweswe banged in a header in the 12th minute at Loftus Versfeld, and while Sundowns surged forward for the rest of the game, Bartman kept out a barrage of chances created by the home side.
"I think we deserved the win because we played well, but Sundowns were excellent," Vermezovic said. "It's not easy to play against them, and they had a lot of opportunities, but today our goalkeeper was amazing."
Chiefs had been handed a 2-0 defeat by log leaders SuperSport United the previous week, and Bartman said he was relieved to have played a hand in their recovery. "I think we bounced back well after last week's defeat," he said.
Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens credited his team for a superb effort after they did everything in their power to break through the Chiefs defence, anchored by the Amakhosi keeper.
