Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has explained the thinking behind his early changes in the first half after a bad mistake by Bradley Cross led to a goal.
Chiefs went behind after 20 minutes after Khomotjo Lekoloane had a simple tap-in, after Cross was dispossessed trying to play from the back.
Just after Wandile Duba equalised for Amakhosi shortly before the hour-mark, Nabi was already preparing changes, as Tebogo Potsane replaced Cross in a tactical change.

"First of all congratulations to the players, it's not easy to come back from a goal down, we started well the first five minutes, we had the control," Nabi said on SuperSport.
"But we noticed that there was a little bit of confusion with the system of a back-three, which gave the opportunity to the opponent to take control of the game, to have more possession, that's why we made the tactical change.
"By taking off the left back (Bradley Cross) and putting on the winger (Tebogo Potsane) and it's not easy against such a good team like Stellenbosch to come from behind and score two, that requires character and that's what we feel today we had and credit goes to the player.
"It's true that in the chances we created we managed to score two goals but the last game we played in Cape Town (took a lot from us), a lot of players had pains but they managed to play through the pain and give everything for the team, for the birthday, and to the amazing fans to come out top at the end of 90 minutes," the Tunisian added.
