Nurkovic lauds Kaizer Chiefs' character and fighting spirit

The 27-year-old scored his first hat-trick in the colours of Amakhosi as they thumped Phunya Sele Sele in Saturday's eight-goal thriller

Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic admits his teammates showed character to rally and beat Bloemfontein Celtic 5-3 on Saturday night.

The Serbian marksman said the first-half was not as they prepared because they conceded three goals, and looked set to suffer their second league defeat of the season.

"What a game! Once again we showed our character. Okay, [the] first half was not like we expected as we prepared, it was a little bit difficult for us but we fought like always.
