Kaizer Chiefs humiliated by KZN upstarts’ Royal flush marc_strydom
Victor Letsoalo's strikes in the 34th and 66th minutes put Chiefs under pressure. Sifiso Hlanti's deflected free-kick gave Amakhosi a lifeline in the 74th.
With Bloemfontein Celtic's coach John Maduka retained at the helm, and familiar to the players imported en masse in the sale to the coast, Royal would always be an organised and crafty outfit for Amakhosi to deal with. A patchy performance from his team will have left many questions for Chiefs' coach as he seeks the key to restoring Amakhosi's confidence on the back of six seasons without a trophy.Chippa might have snuck the early blow, though, Letsoalo, showing how dangerous he would be squeezing a shot onto the left upright.
After Chiefs came out slugging and failed to score they lost steam, and had nervy moments at the back. From one of those, wing Levy Mashiane's cross was poorly dealt with, allowing Letsoalo in to finish.
