The Premier Soccer League (PSL) served up another action-packed day, with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates battling to shift their fortunes.

Both teams faced significant challenges, but the outcomes were as unpredictable as ever.

For Orlando Pirates, a strong showing could have pushed them to the top of the league.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs, stuck in a mid-table rut, were desperate to claw their way out of mediocrity and move closer to the PSL’s top ranks.

Chiefs Face Stellenbosch: A Battle to Bounce Back

Kaizer Chiefs, still reeling from a rough loss in Cape Town days before, had a lot to prove against a sharp Stellenbosch side.

With players like Devon Titus and Jayden Adams, Stellenbosch was no easy opponent for Nasreddine Nabi’s team.

The game started with a setback for Chiefs when Khomotjo Lekoloane struck in the 20th minute, putting the Maroons ahead.

It looked like another frustrating day for Chiefs, but Wandile Duba stepped up just before halftime.

A well-placed rebound header leveled the score, giving the Chiefs hope.

In the second half, neither team dominated, but Mfundo Vilakazi’s exquisite pass set Duba up for a clinical finish past Sage Stephens.

The final whistle blew with Chiefs taking a hard-fought 2-1 victory.

Cape Town City vs. Orlando Pirates: Missed Chances

Kabelo Dlamini nearly put them ahead, only to be denied by the post after a brilliant save from Darren Keet.

The second half, however, saw Cape Town City grow into the game.

They exposed gaps in Pirates’ defense and created dangerous opportunities.

A missed penalty from Patrick Maswanganyi proved costly for the visitors, as Darwin González’s deflected shot sealed the win for Cape Town City.

The match ended 1-0, leaving the Buccaneers frustrated.
