Kaizer Chiefs will be looking at the positives from their season so far as they switch their focus to their next encounter against SuperSport United.
Chiefs extended their winless run in the DStv Premiership to three matches after they scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants last weekend.

The scorer of the equalizer for Amakhosi, Zitha Kwinika says it was "bittersweet" getting on the scoresheet as they did not get the results they wanted.
"It was a bittersweet moment. It could have been nicer, but I think everything works out for a reason. I think after the mistake, there was something in me that had to go rectify things, because obviously you want to get points and results, so yes it was," Kwinika said in an interview via the club's media department.
Chiefs will be determined to return to winning ways against tricky opponents, SuperSport, on Saturday evening and Kwinika went on to emphasize the importance of winning home matches.
"SuperSport is a very good team with the players they have, but I think it's for us also now to knuckle down, soldier on, man up and get the result," he said.
"We need to start getting results. Black or blue, we just have to grind out results.
"Obviously, we are playing at home and it is something we spoke about as a team, that any team that comes to FNB must not come out on top so we are going to take it to them. We can't afford to drop more points at this point in time."
Chiefs have actually done well at home this season despite their struggles, as they are currently unbeaten and are yet to concede on their home turf.

The Glamour Boys had back-to-back home victories over Maritzburg United (3-0) and Richards Bay (1-0) but played to a goalless draw against AmaZulu the last time at FNB Stadium.
However, Matsatsantsa have proven to be a tough customer for Chiefs over the years, as they have a better head to head record than any other side against Amakhosi.
Kwinika was not faced by statistics and suggested that it will be a tactical game.
"Those things sometimes don't really matter. Football is about how you prepare. We are preparing well," he carried on.
"We know what they do and how they play so we are working on things. It's a game of chess in a way, a game of mistakes and the less mistakes you make, the better your chances of winning the game and the more chances you get and convert, then you are definitely winning the game," he added.
