Siwelele Beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 to End Unbeaten Run and Title Hopes

The loss leaves Chiefs chasing third place for a CAF Confederation Cup spot.

Overview

  • Siwelele FC, which beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 on Wednesday in Bloemfontein, snapped Amakhosi’s seven-match unbeaten run.
  • Tebogo Potsane struck in the 7th minute and Siphesihle Jeza doubled the lead in the 26th, with Jeza netting his first professional goal.
  • Co-coach Cedric Kaze said Chiefs “were not there” in the first half in their build-up and in both attack and defense, and he noted missed chances after the break.
  • The defeat makes a league title mathematically out of reach, yet Chiefs remain five points clear of fourth with four matches left as they target third and a CAF berth.
  • Kaze flagged questions about rotation and fresher legs after the Soweto derby and pointed to changes before a May 6 visit to Mamelodi Sundowns.
