Kaizer Chiefs defender Jimmy Tau believes the weekend's three point haul will act as a boost for the side.

'Amakhosi' overcame Free State Stars to claim a much-needed victory and Tau is hoping that the team can build on it in the coming weeks.

Tau told the club's official website: "The win against Free State Stars was a great one for us.

"We once again proved that we have what it takes to conquer in the Absa Premiership.

"We learnt lot of lessons in the first round where we lost and drew games we were supposed to win.

"We have to put that behind now and build from the win against Free State Stars when we meet Santos next week."

Tau has found it difficult to stay fit this season but he admits that it is great to be back in the team.

He added: "It feels good to be playing again. I am gaining confidence by each game that passes.

"Having said that I have confidence in every player in the squad, so whomever the coach gives a nod on the day should be able to deliver for the team.

"It is never about individuals but the team."
