Head coach Arthur Zwane hailed the immediate impact of new signing Christian Saile after a scintillating debut as Kaizer Chiefs clinched a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Royal AM.
Saile grabbed an assist as Ashley Du Preez doubled Chiefs' lead in the 84th minute after beating a defender with a burst of pace before providing an inch-prefect cross for the attacker.

It was an electrifying debut for the Congolese attacker in what Chiefs fans will be hoping is a sign of what is to come in the rest of the season.
"We knew with Christian we didn't want to start him in the game, reason being we wanted to look at how the opposition will set up," Zwane said post-match.
"Also we didn't want to put him under pressure. We wanted him to read the game from the bench, then capitalise and have him take advantage from there."
Zwane detailed how the technical team's instructions aided the 22-year-old's impressive cameo after being unleashed to devastating effect on their opponents.
"Whatever information we gave to him before being introduced worked as he did exactly that," Zwane added.
"It worked for us an congrats to him and also the rest of the guys for executing."
Chiefs - fifth in the standings - will next face a trip to TS Galaxy on Sunday.
Kick-off is at 15:30.
