Kaizer Chiefs drops down one place on the Betway Premiership log to fourth position
AmaZulu edged closer to the top of the Betway Premiership table after a 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants, leaving Kaizer Chiefs in a precarious third position. The crucial match at Princess Magogo Stadium saw in-form striker Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya score the decisive header in the 36th minute, following a precise delivery from Nkhosikona Radebe.
This marked Ngwenya's achievement of being the first player to score in the first six matches of a PSL season. AmaZulu's dominance continued with their effective play through the left-sided duo of Omega Mdaka and the midfielders, ensuring the Gallants failed to mount any comeback.
Across town at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, Kaizer Chiefs experienced a setback as they settled for a 1-1 draw against Polokwane City. The game started well for Chiefs, with Lebohang Maboe equalizing in the 28th minute after a well-placed shot from a lofted pass. However, the lead proved fleeting as goalkeeper Brandon Petersen made a costly mistake in the 72nd minute, allowing Giovanni Philander to score an equalizing goal from a corner kick.
The error left the visitors struggling to capitalize on their equalizer, with substitute Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko and Pule Mmodi missing good opportunities, ultimately sealing a hard-fought point for Polokwane City.
