Kaizer Chiefs travel to Madagascar for Saturday’s Caf Confederation Cup second round‚ second leg tie against ASSM Elgeco Plus in buoyant mood after back-to-back wins.
Amakhosi will take comfort in the knowledge that they registered a clean sheet in the first leg meeting against the unheralded Madagascans.
Two late goals from Leonardo Castro saw Chiefs claim a 3-0 first in Durban which history suggests will be enough to advance to the play-off round.
South African clubs have played six previous Caf club competition ties in Madagascar and lost only once when Bidvest Wits were beaten 2-0 by AS Adema in 2011.
And just last year SuperSport United showed Chiefs the way when they defeated Elgeco Plus in the Confederation Cup‚ drawing 0-0 on the Indian Ocean island and claiming a 2-1 home victory.
Only twice before in 25 years has a South African side given up a 3-0 first leg advantage.
