Kaizer Chiefs play without fans

According to TimesLIVE, Amakhosi won their first game after losing their previous two matches against Amazulu and Cape Town City. Chiefs had to play without their 12th man after the fans were suspended for violent misconduct, which included hitting former coach Molefi Ntseki after their loss to AmaZulu.

Amakhosi seem to be on form, with Cavi Johnson starting the match and Pule Mmodi and Sifiso Hlanti sitting it out.

Amakhosi score 3 and win

New signing Edson Castillo scored the first goal and threw in a header after Yusuf Maart crossed the ball into the 16th area. A crucial error by Spurs caused the goal, opening the scoring with Chiefs taking the lead. Spurs made another silly defensive mistake when defender Lubeni Haukongo cleared the ball inefficently.

Ranga Chivaviro capitalised and delivered a thunderous kick into an empty net. Amakhosi scored their third goal late into the game after Keagan Dolly gave a pass into the box, which found Christian Saile waiting for it. Spurs scored their goals minutes before halftime and minutes before the final whistle.

Mzansi believes Chiefs fans are the problem

Netizens, commenting on @KaizerChiefs’s victory tweet, celebrated but believe that the team has a ways to go.

MR SAMBO SNR said:

“There is still a lot of work to be done.”

Mzulu wa Limpopo pointed out:

“Firstly, we don’t have a goalkeeper. Chiefs are playing beautiful football, but sometimes we get lost, especially in the game's last minutes.”

Eminem celebrated.

“Y’all cooked tonight. We fix making silly mistakes under pressure and stop conceding more than one goal, and we’re good to go.”

Some netizens recognised that the fans may have been the problem.

Lucas Radebe doubts Cavin Johnson

In a similar article, Briefly News reported that soccer legend Lucas Radebe cast doubt on Kaizer Chief’s interim coach, Cavin Johnson.

Johnson, who was given the hotseat after Amakhosi fired Molefi Ntseki, has had a shaky start to his new job. Rhuu spoke after he was appointed and said that the Chiefs need a coach with a higher calibre than Johnson. Chiefs fans told Radebe to keep his words to himself.
