It’s been a while since Kaizer Chiefs managed to outshine Orlando Pirates, but this time the stakes were high for both teams.

The match day was full of significance – with Pirates facing off against a resurging Cape Town City side, they had the chance to top the PSL table.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs, struggling in the middle of the standings, were desperate to move away from the lower ranks and secure a much-needed win.

Kaizer Chiefs’ Comeback Against Stellenbosch

After a disappointing loss in Cape Town just days before, Kaizer Chiefs were determined to bounce back.

However, the task ahead was not an easy one.

They were up against a well-drilled Stellenbosch team, featuring players like Devon Titus and Jayden Adams who could cause trouble at any moment.

Stellenbosch took an early lead when Khomotjo Lekoloane scored in the 20th minute, which looked to set the tone for another frustrating day for Chiefs.

But Wandile Duba had different plans.

A rebound header from him brought the game level, and just before halftime, the teams were tied 1-1.

The second half saw both teams struggle to find control, with possession swinging from one side to the other.

However, a beautiful pass from Mfundo Vilakazi allowed Duba to finish with finesse, guiding the ball past goalkeeper Sage Stephens for the winner.

The final score ended 2-1, giving Chiefs a crucial victory.

Orlando Pirates Struggle Against Cape Town City

Over at Cape Town City, the first half was all about Orlando Pirates, who came close to scoring through Kabelo Dlamini, only to hit the post after a solid save by Darren Keet.

The second half, however, belonged to the hosts.

Cape Town City began to find their rhythm, creating opportunities and exploiting gaps in Pirates’ defense.

Patrick Maswanganyi had a chance to score from the penalty spot, but his shot hit the post.

Minutes later, Darwin González’s shot deflected into the net, giving Cape Town City the only goal of the match.

The game ended with a 1-0 victory for Cape Town City, leaving Pirates with a frustrating result.

Kaizer Chiefs Looking Ahead

With this win, Kaizer Chiefs have given themselves a glimmer of hope.

Could this victory help them climb back into the top 3? Only time will tell, but for now, they’ll take the momentum and look to build on it.
