Kaizer Chiefs hoodoo strikes again as 10-man Stellenbosch suffer 2-0 defeat
Kaizer Chiefs celebrate the goal scored by Nkosingiphile Ngcobo during the Betway Premiership against Stellenbosch at Athlone Stadium on Saturday. Photo: BackpagePix Image: Backpagepix Kaizer Chiefs once again showcased their standing as Stellenbosch FC's hoodoo team with a hard-fought 2-0 victory in their Betway Premiership match at Athlone Stadium on Sunday. This triumph marks a significant milestone for Chiefs, who have been nothing short of formidable against the Winelands team, securing five consecutive league wins against them. The result also meant that Chiefs ended their nine-match winless streak in the league at the end of last season. The capacity crowd was treated to a rousing start with end-to-end action. However, the mood shifted dramatically early in the first half when referee Eugene Mdluli red-carded Stellenbosch debutant Siviwe Nkwali. The young defender made a reckless challenge on Mduduzi Shabalala, who had skilfully navigated through a gap in the Stellenbosch defence and was heading goalwards. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo stepped up for the free-kick on the fringe of the Stellenbosch penalty area. He struck a left-footed shot over the defensive wall before it curled fractionally past Stellenbosch goalkeeper Sage Stephens for Chiefs' first goal of the season. As Stellenbosch attempted to regroup after the setback, Chiefs failed to take advantage of their numerical superiority. Instead of adopting a more defensive posture, Stellenbosch ran full tilt at the opposition defence, unsettling the Chiefs backline. In the ensuing 12 minutes of play, Stellenbosch were foiled three times by the woodwork as Chiefs' rearguard failed to deal with the parting shots of marksmen Sanele Barns and Devin Titus.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ It was worth noting that the teams served notice of their attacking intentions moments after the kick-off. From the second minute onwards, there was a flurry of corners in the next seven minutes, with four for Chiefs and three for Stellenbosch. However, neither side managed to exploit the set-piece opportunities. As the first half wore on, 10-man Stellenbosch gained the upper hand and, by half-time, they surprisingly led the shots-on-goal count 11-4. Brandon Petersen, the Chiefs goalkeeper, was far and away the busiest man on the field as Stellenbosch's unrelenting, aggressive attack threatened a breakthrough. Two minutes after the restart, Chiefs' Congolese international Makabi Lilepo scored, but he was adjudged offside. In the absence of coach Nasreddine Nabi, first assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef and second assistant coach Cedric Kaze were calling the shots for Chiefs. To inject some spark into the attack, they brought on Ashley du Preez for Naledi Hlongwane and Sibongiseni Mthethwa for Nkosingiphile Ngcobo. Stellenbosch followed suit moments later with three changes ahead of the hour mark: Ibraheem Jabaar for Chumani Butsaka, Muzomuhle Khanyi for Ashley Cupido, and Lesiba Nku for Andre de Jong. Of the two sides, Chiefs' fresh legs made the greater impact, forcing Stellenbosch into a largely defensive approach. Occasionally, they staged counterattacks, which Chiefs managed to contain. In the final 20 minutes, Chiefs created a host of half-chances, with the capacity crowd voicing a steady stream of 'ohs' and 'ahs' as efforts missed the target. In the final minute of injury time, Chiefs sealed the result when Lilepo converted a penalty to ensure an emphatic victory.

Chiefs edge out ten-man Stellies in thrilling opener
Amakhosi win a Premiership game away to Stellenbosch for the fourth successive season. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo's well-struck free kick handed Kaizer Chiefs a fine start to the season with a 2-0 Betway Premiership win over ten-man Stellenbosch at Athlone Stadium on Sunday. Stellenbosch spent most of the game a man down after new signing Sivive Nkwali was sent off for a professional foul on Mduduzi Shabalala. And it was from that very set piece that Ngcobo curled in the first goal of the game. Glody Lilepo sealed the win late in stoppage time from the spot after a foul on substitute Ashley Du Preez. This was Chiefs' fourth successive Premiership win away to Stellies, and they merited the victory at a packed Athlone Stadium. Stellies played bravely after going a man down, smashing the woodwork twice in a frenetic first half. The away side, however, wasted a glut of chances in the second to put this game out of sight, before Lilepo finally struck. Chiefs were without their head coach Nasreddine Nabi in Cape Town, the Tunisian rushing back home after his wife was involved in a serious road accident. In his place, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze took charge of their team, and their starting line-up sprung a few surprises. Chiefs gave young striker Naledi Hlongwane his first official start in an Amakhosi shirt, with new signing Flavio Silva not even on the bench. Hlongwane, who had an excellent 2024/25 campaign in the DStv Diski Challenge, was rewarded after impressing in pre-season. So was another young talent Aden McCarthy, who made just his second official appearance for Chiefs, partnering Inacio Miguel in central defence. The game started with a flurry of corners for both sides, before Chiefs struck an earlyblow. Ngcobo's pass released Shabalala, who went down under contact from Sivive Nkwali. This was Nkwali's first start since joining Stellies from Cape Town Spurs this season. But it lasted just 13 minutes, referee Eugene Mdluli swatting aside protests from Stellies players to brandish a red card. Ngcobo truly twisted the knife, curling an excellent free kick past Sage Stephens. Stellenbosch regrouped and swarmed at Chiefs, to the extent that at times it looked like it was the home team who had the man advantage. Wandile Duba had to clear Enyinnaya Godswill's header off the line, before Barker's side hit the woodwork twice in a few minutes. In the 23rd minute, Devin Titus cut inside and curled in a brilliant effort that Brandon Peterson tipped onto the post. Sanele Barns then won a free kick for a foul by Duba. Barns had already scored a fine set piece in the MTN8 quarterfinal win over AmaZulu. And he was desperately unlucky here, as his curler beat Peterson but cannoned back off the post. Chiefs thought they had doubled their lead at the start of the second half as Glody Lilepo slotted home, but the assistant referee had his flag up for offside. Stellenbosch seemed to tire in the second half, creating far less despite a raft of substitutions from Barker to try and freshen up his ten men. Duba ought to have doubled Chiefs' lead but he blazed Shabalala's cross over from close range. Lilepo did the same, and Chiefs were left to hope they would not pay for their profligacy.
