Kaizer Chiefs’ Diski Challenge side remains top of the standing after six rounds of league action. Here’s a recap.
Diski Challenge team still top of the pile
Vela Khumalo’s side played out a 0-0 draw with Stellenbosch to stay top of the table by a point ahead of Sundowns. Chieds have 13 points from six matches. So far the reserve side has picked up wins against Goldwn Arrows, Chippa, Sekhukhune and Magesi. Their only defeat of the campaign so far was against a talented SuperSport side.
Obrigado and Mdu showing the way
Meanwhile, youngsters Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi have made impressive, goal-scoring starts to the season. Both were on target in their opening-day win over Marumo Gallants. Shabalala has been entrusted with the number 10 role for the first team, starting there in all four matches so far. This talented duo are two of the most prominent names to come through the ranks at Naturena and shine for the DDC side. Now, they’re fully-fledged, important regulars in the senior setup.
Kaizer Chiefs must wait 20 days for their next Betway Premiership action
Amakhosi, meanwhile, have three weeks to wait until their next Betway Premiership fixture. They’ve started this campaign in decent fashion, with two wins from three, and a recent defeat to Sundowns. Their goal, of course, will be to compete for next season’s MTN8 at a minimum. Here are their next few fixtures:
- SuperSport United – Saturday, October 26, Lucas Moripe Stadium, 17:30
- Magesi FC – Wednesday, October 30, Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, 19:30
- Royal AM – Sunday, November 9 – FNB Stadium, 17:30
Will Chiefs get nine points from their next three league fixtures?
