Kaizer Chiefs are now on something of a roll – well, at the very least a mini-loaf – convincingly notching a third successive DStv Premiership win, 3-0 against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila at FNB Stadium on Tuesday.
Nkosingiphile Ngcobo struck a fine 19th-minute opener, and substitute Lebogang Manyama added a 66th-minute second with his first touch in an industrious victory to Chiefs.
Gavin Hunt’s formative Chiefs have found physical presence and a work-rate closing spaces out of possession. Daniel Cardoso, Darrel Matsheke, Ngcobo – all starting on Tuesday – and substitute Njabulo Blom have been at the forefront of renewed muscle in midfield. But Chiefs have found the going tougher at home and returning from their two wins on the road – 1-0 against AmaZulu then 2-1 at Cape Town City – a match that they were expected to win was just the kind of fixture where a team still finding solid ground might well have tripped. They were calm, controlled play, and took three good chances.
The home team’s rhythm was disrupted as Ramahlwe Mphahlele pulled a hamstring, Blom coming into midfield in the 15th minute and Cardoso dropping to centreback.
