SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has revealed the tactics behind SuperSport United's 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership, which was their second victory of the season after six games played.
Matsatsantsa snapped a losing streak that saw them fall to Chiefs in the Carling Knockout, then to Orlando Pirates in the league, before then dismantling Amakhosi at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

Although the Soweto giants dominated proceedings, it was Tashreeq Morris' goal on the stroke of half-time that did the damage.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Hunt revealed a tactical switch that he believes was the difference maker.
"Last week, we took the game to them. That first 30 minutes, we took the game to them," said Hunt, referencing their 4-0 defeat to the same opposition in the cup.
"But we got turned over (lost 4-0) and I said we can't get turned over, because they've got really, really good players in that front three or four.

"So, we did that well tonight and I thought that was the key to the whole game, to let the game come to us a little bit. We took the game to them on Saturday and got hurt, it's a cup game.
"So, [this time] we let the game come to us a little bit and I thought we were better. We don't have the quality that they have, so we have to do what we have to do."
