Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has commented on his side's chances of clinching a CAF Champions League spot after the loss to Sekhukhune United.
The Soweto giants saw their five-game unbeaten run in the DStv Premiership came to an end after going down 1-0 to Brandon Truter's charges.

The defeat to Sekhukhune has left Chiefs fourth position, five points adrift of second-place Orlando Pirates with four games left of the season.
Zwane admitted their Champions League hopes are diminishing following the latest setback at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
"Ja, look the chances now of finishing in second spot are getting smaller you know, we only have ourselves to blame, we had the opportunity today to get closer, a two points gap," he said.
"So, ja we just have to take one game at a time, keep on working hard with the hope that we'll win the remaining games," he added.
Zwane opened up about his changes in the second half as he threw on Caleb Bimenyimana and Mduduzi Shabalala
"Ja, look we had to take a gamble you know to throw in more forwards and obviously put them under pressure, ja it nearly worked because we knew they were just pumping the ball and play from the second ball," he added.
"So the only thing that we had to do was to quickly get the ball to the right areas where we can hurt them and I think at some point we kept the ball too long at the back looking for options and yet there were players who were free.
"It was a case of decision-making and ja we just need to improve on that and I think we could have done better in terms of creating chances and converting them."
