Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi says the players must 'step up' and not only rely on Mduduzi Shabalala to make things happen.
The Soweto giants started the new year with a 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City on Sunday evening in Cape Town.
As a result, Chiefs have now failed to beat City in their last seven attempts in the Premiership but the coach wants to see other players step up going forward.

"We feel that we made the same mistakes, especially in the first-half. We were unlucky not to take the right decisions in the final third, going into the opponent goal," Nabi told SuperSport after the game.
"Unfortunately the opponent got a counter-attack and we were not able to come back from that.
"I feel the decision-making in the last third we had a lack...sometimes we played too many touches, sometimes we played too early, that's how it was today and we feel we didn't deserve to win, (but) we didn't deserve to lose the three points but we have to back, work and try to improve," the Tunisian said.
"We had to wait for an individual except Shabalala, everyone needs to step up, if a player does not feel good, everyone needs to lift the team, contribute to the improvement of the team."
