Kaizer Chiefs fans were brought back to reality following a 4-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.
The defeat sees Amakhosi exit the competition in the quarter-final stages. Two goals from Iqraam Rayners and one from Peter Shalulile and Khuliso Mudau were enough to see the Brazilians walk away 4-0 winners in Soweto.
Having narrowly lost 2-1 to Sundowns in September, Kaizer Chiefs fans were hoping to finally avenge their loss and get a rare win over their rivals. After 14 minutes, Downs were already upfront and from there on, the writing was on the wall for Nasreddine Nabi’s men.
Sundowns give Kaizer Chiefs their biggest loss of the season
After Chiefs suffered another defeat to Masandawana, fans reacted to the club’s loss on X(Twitter). The Glamour Boys lost 5-1 to the Brazilians in May and when Manqoba Mngqithi’s men scored their second goal, some Khosi fans had flashbacks.
“Nabi now understands that SA football is not like the rest of African football,” tweeted @MistaJayR.
@HlubiJoseph wrote: “Any Miguel hate is punishable with a block. You guys need to watch football without emotions or bias. I am mad at the results, but singling out players is not going to help the team. Frankly, Kaizer Chiefs under Nabi was not the same Chiefs today, and we have to accept that.”
@TMANWaDiTMAN1 wrote: “Nabi is a good coach but he’s being disturbed because of his football philosophy it matches our historical culture, these brown envelops, FIFA must intervene.”
Can Nabi turn the ship around?
