Kaizer Chiefs' pre-season tour of Spain has been marked by draws rather than wins. The team, led by coach Fernando Da Cruz, has played two matches on tour so far, and in both they have taken the lead, only to concede late equalizers.
In their second friendly match, Kaizer Chiefs were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Pro League side Al Kholood. Asanele Velebayi scored in the 15th minute to put the Glamour Boys ahead. However, Al Kholood scored an 82nd minute penalty to draw level.
This is not Kaizer Chiefs' first draw on tour. In their first friendly match, they also drew 1-1 with Glascow Rangers in Scotland. Etioso Ighodara scored for the Amakhosi in that match. However, Glascow Rangers equalized in the 90th minute to share the spoils.
Kaizer Chiefs will face La Liga outfit Elche FC next, this Saturday. They will play at the Pinatar Arena in Spain. Kick-off is at 19:00 (SA Time).
This will be their last match on tour in Spain. However, it is not Da Cruz and Amakhosi's last pre-season match. In fact, they will have one more pre-season match when they host Scotland FC in the Toyota Cup at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Sunday, 26 July.
