Saile and Ashely Du Preez were on the score-sheet with a proud Zwane praising the Congolese attacker's mentality.
"He [Saile] is a soldier of note and we expect more [to come] from him," Zwane said post-match.
"He's got this 'never say die' attitude and that's what we want. He never stopped running.
"He never stopped working hard on and off the ball as well, and that is why they [Saile and Du Preez] ended up scoring.
"I always remind them [Saile and Du Preez] that you create your own luck. Keep working hard and you'll always be rewarded. they were rewarded today."
Chiefs now turn their attention to the DStv Premiership where they will host Golden Arrows at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
