Timid Chiefs blow chance to fight for PSL second spot: Kaizer Chiefs’ chance of finishing second is now in serious jeopardy as they lost to a rejuvenated Sekhukhune United side at Peter Mokaba Stadium yesterday.
Sammy Seabi’s solitary goal sealed the deal for Babina Noko. Sekhukhune also beat Chiefs 1-0 in the first round of the season in January, meaning they have completed a league double over Amakhosi. With Sifiso Hlanti and Siyethemba Sithebe missing due to suspensions, Reeve Frosler and Cole Alexander respectively replaced them in the Chiefs starting XI. It was Cole Alexander’s first game since last October.
Chiefs nearly drew the first blood as early as the second minute but Ashely du Preez couldn’t compose himself, rushing to unleash a shot that went wide. Two minutes later, Sekhukhune broke the deadlock via Seabi’s tap-in after Chiefs had failed to clear their lines. Sekhukhune took the game to the visitors for the better part of the first stanza, using the speed of their wingers Elias Mokwana and Vusumuzi Mncube. The pair found joy mainly on the left side, where makeshift left-back Frosler was just struggling. Frosler, a natural right-back, hardly won any 1v1 battles against the Sekhukhune wingers, forcing centre-back Edmilson Dove to cover for him.
