Kaizer Chiefs' Nurkovic warns 'it is only half-time' against Wydad Casablanca as he hails VAR intervention

The Serb was the hero of Amakhosi’s famous win in Morocco with his first-half goal deciding the contest on Saturday

Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic has demanded they put their celebrations following Saturday's 1-0 win over Wydad Casablanca on ice as there is still the Champions League semi-final, second-leg to play against the same opponents next weekend.

Nurkovic’s 34th-minute goal separated Chiefs and Wydad away at Stade Mohamed V to hand the Soweto giants the advantage heading into the return leg at FNB Stadium on June 26.

Chiefs will now host Wydad at FNB Stadium next Saturday and a draw of any kind will be enough to see them through to their maiden Champions League final.
