Sekhukhune spoil Chiefs’ birthday party celebrations

This was supposed to be a night of birthday celebrations for Kaizer Chiefs but Sekhukhune United didn’t get the memo.

Amakhosi needed the three points to cap the club’s 53rd birthday celebrations but their visitors had other ideas as they left this iconic venue as the ones celebrating a much-needed 1-0 win.

This result is significant for Sekhukhune as they have moved out of the relegation zone to tenth spot on the standings and is huge motivation for recently appointed coach Brandon Truter.

For Amakhosi and their coach Zwane, they missed out on an opportunity to possibly move to second spot on goal difference ahead of SuperSport United who lost to Golden Arrows earlier in the day.

This also means that Chiefs are now 13 points behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have won their last nine league matches, at the midway stage of the campaign.
