Overview
- Flavio Da Silva put Chiefs ahead before halftime, Langelihle Phili equalised early in the second half, and Devin Titus struck in the 87th minute to seal Stellenbosch’s win.
- Mamelodi Sundowns reclaimed top spot on 38 points, level with Orlando Pirates but ahead on goals scored, after Marcelo Allende’s late winner against AmaZulu.
- Chiefs remain fourth on 30 points with a game in hand, missing a chance to close the gap on the leaders in the Betway Premiership race.
- Stellenbosch climbed to 11th on 19 points, easing relegation pressure by moving clear of the drop zone after back-to-back wins over Chiefs this month across league and cup.
- Attention now turns to Saturday’s sold-out Soweto Derby at FNB Stadium, where Chiefs seek a response against second-placed Pirates in a match with clear title implications.
