Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz blamed referee Luxolo Badi's officiating and his team's lack of experience for their 2-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby. Da Cruz argued that Pirates played with 12 men due to favorable decisions and that his team's young players lacked the experience to close out games. Despite the loss, Da Cruz remains optimistic about Chiefs' title chances, citing the long season ahead and the potential return of injured players.
