Kaizer Chiefs' head coach Fernando Da Cruz explained his tactical switch to a back three formation against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Chiefs drew 1-1 with Sundowns at FNB Stadium, keeping their top position in the Betway Premiership standings after three matches.
Thabo Moloisane made his debut in the formation, which was influenced by injuries and the need to limit space for Sundowns.
