“We have been frustrated for a long time. It has been a process, me being new to the team the boys getting used to my style of play," Salmon said.
"But now we finally got it in defence, attack and we are scoring goals. At this point, we need to remain consistent that would be key for us.”
Meanwhile, Chiefs secured a 4-2 victory over Baroka FC away in their last league game which was played on February 8.
The win ended Amakhosi's three-match winless run in the league having recorded two defeats and one draw prior to facing Bakgaga Ba Mphahlele.
