Steve Komphela looked understandably pleased with the evening's toil after Saturday's 4-0 victory over Free State Stars but warned his players that winning had to become a habit.
"It was nice to win but this is a club with a great history of winning," said the Kaizer Chiefs coach.
"It's also nice to win by a margin of four goals, but what was most important was the three points."
Chiefs go straight back into action tomorrow, playing away against Polokwane City, who were given a 3-0 pasting at the University of Pretoria on Saturday.
"I don't read much into other results against other teams. When they come at us they will play a different game.
"But with Polokwane City you know what you are going to get, they don't go halfway. Either they get or they give," he said in a reference to Polokwane's all-out attacking policy.
In between the satisfaction of the win over Stars, which came with two superbly crafted goals from George Lebese and Siphiwe Tshabalala and two calamitous own goals, Komphela warned about his own side's penchant for the occasional defensive twitch.
"We again gave signals [to the opposition] that scoring chances are available. On another day we might not have been as lucky," he said of the stray passes in defence and poor clearances that allowed Stars some opportunity.
After tomorrow's match at Peter Mokaba Stadium, Chiefs turn their attention to cup action and the second leg of their MTN8 semifinal against Bloemfontein Celtic.
FIXTURES (all 7.30pm):
TOMORROW: Black Aces v Mamelodi Sundowns, Mbombela Stadium; Polokwane City v Kaizer Chiefs, Peter Mokaba Stadium; Chippa United v University of Pretoria, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
WEDNESDAY: Ajax Cape Towb v Free State Stars, Cape Town Stadium; SuperSport v Jomo Cosmos, Lucas Moripe Stadium; Platinum Stars v Golden Arrows, Royal Bafokeng Stadium; Celtic v Pirates, Free State Stadium; Wits v Maritzburg, Bidvest Stadium.
Komphela hopes winning habit continues in Polokwane
