Kaizer Chiefs survive late scare to beat Siwelele, remain unbeaten in PSL
Kaizer Chiefs secured a 3-2 victory over Siwelele FC in a competitive Betway Premiership match. The win keeps the Chiefs in third place, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.
Why it matters
The result keeps Kaizer Chiefs in contention for the league title, highlighting the current competitive hierarchy in South African football.
Kaizer Chiefs survived a late scare from Siwelele FC to bag maximum points and end on the right side of a five-goal thriller at Dobsonville Stadium on a cold and wet evening in Soweto.
Chiefs’ 3-2 win over the Bloemfontein-based side took Amakhosi back to third place after five rounds – with just two points separating the Glamour Boys from reigning Betway Premiership champions, Orlando Pirates, who sit in second place.
Mamelodi Sundowns lead the pack with 16 points, but they have played a game more compared to the Buccaneers who are three points behind them.
Amakhosi stepped onto the pitch knowing that a win would move them close to the duo that has dominated South African football in the last four seasons.
Chiefs’ coach Fernando da Cruz didn’t have the headache he used to have when all of his leftbacks were out injured.
