Kaizer Chiefs fans have every reason to smile right now.
After kicking off their Betway Premiership campaign with a confident away victory last weekend, the Glamour Boys followed it up with another win — this time in front of their home crowd at the iconic FNB Stadium on Wednesday night.
Late Strike Seals the Deal
It took patience, persistence, and a touch of late magic for Chiefs to grab all three points.
Siphesihle Ndlovu was the hero of the evening, breaking the deadlock in the 79th minute with the only goal of the match against Polokwane City.
The moment sent the home supporters into a frenzy, knowing they were about to witness another perfect start to the season.
A Perfect Six Points on the Board
With two wins from two matches, Chiefs sit comfortably at the top of the early standings on six points.
For many in the Amakhosi camp, the sweetest part is that they’re already six points clear of their biggest rivals, Orlando Pirates.
It’s early days, but the confidence in the squad — and among the fans — is starting to build.
What’s Next for the Glamour Boys
The next challenge comes quickly. Chiefs will be back at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday, 19 August, hosting Richards Bay in another evening showdown.
Kick-off is set for 19:30, and the home crowd will be hoping for another performance that keeps their perfect record intact.
Starting XI That Got the Job Done
Head coach Khalil Ben Youssef stuck to a solid game plan, naming Petersen, Cross, McCarthy, Miguel (captain), Monyane, Cele, Mthethwa, Shabalala, Duba, Lilepo, and Sirino in his starting line-up.
Ndlovu, the match-winner, was among the substitutes alongside Ntwari, Frosler, Kwinika, Mako, Ngcobo, Mmodi, Vilakazi, and Du Preez.
Building the Belief
Two games in, six points collected, and a strong start that has the fans buzzing — the big question is already in the air: could this finally be Kaizer Chiefs’ season? If they keep up this momentum, the answer might just be yes.
