Kaizer Chiefs forwards Nkosinathi Nhleko is excited about playing against Santos in Port Elizabeth.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Friday night.

Nhleko has fond memories of the ground as it is the venue where he scored his first ever goal for Amakhosi against Bay United in pre-season.

However, before he found the back of the net the Chiefs supporters were on his back, due to the fact that he was not at peak fitness.

Nhleko told the club's official website: "I remember I was struggling with fitness ahead of the games against Bay United and SuperSport United (Premier's Cup) in Port Elizabeth.

"The fans gave me tough time early on in the game but all I wanted was to open my account for the Club and I did.

"It was a wonderful goal as I took Bay United defenders with me from the half way line to put the ball in the back of the net.

"It is good to be going back there."
