At the end of last season, Leonardo Castro looked sent to be one of the players who were going to be off loaded at Kaizer Chiefs as they looked to build a new attack for the 2019/2020 season.

Da Gama started with a promising attack of Tendai Ndoro, Rodney Ramagalela and Peter Shalulile upfront last night but there was little delivery from them.

During his playing days, Da Gama starred as a striker at Moroka Swallows and Dynamos and that’s where he also got to play against Chiefs and scored some goals against them.

Following last night’s result, Da Gama blamed lack of depth in his squad for contributing to this loss as he was missing some of his regular players.

With Chiefs celebrating their 50th anniversary as from Tuesday, the club released free tickets to their supporters as part of the celebrations and there were over 54 000 fans at the match venue last night.

Highlands Park head Coach Owen Da Gama says it will be good to see a big institution like Kaizer Chiefs lifting the Absa Premiership title come end of the season.
