Kaizer Chiefs’ Reeve Frosler said just listening enabled him to fire home a brilliant opener in Amakhosi’s 2-1 loss to Vitesse Arnhem in a friendly at the Sportspark Driel in the Netherlands on Tuesday.

Frosler rockets Chiefs in front
Frosler took aim from outside the box and slammed a shot into the top corner in the 37th minute to give his side the lead.
“I got the ball, someone said, ‘shoot!’ And I thought, ‘okay, let’s do it.,” Frosler told the Chiefs website.
Vitesse, however, came back in the second half. First Chiefs’ Dillon Solomons put a cross through his own net and then Andy Visser pounced to win the game for the Dutch side in front of about 2000 supporters.
Chiefs played two different starting XIs in each half, with three of their new signings getting a chance.
