Johannesburg- Kaizer Chiefs put a sweety revenge when they went on a rampage against Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium, near Johannesburg.

Two teams were up against each other on a Premier Soccer League encounter. Chiefs started to take the game to the visitors and nearly took a lead when Simphiwe Tshabalala was set through by birthday boy, Siyabonga Nkosi but he couldn’t finished it off as his shot was blocked by in-form Sundowns goalie.

Sundowns started to gel after fifteen minutes where Bafana midfielder, Teko Modise was a thorn on Kaizer Chiefs flesh.

 He ochestrated the moves in the middle of the park and he was nearly rewarded when he unleashed a powerful shot forcing Bafana’s number goalkeeper,Itumeleng Khune to make a sterling save.

Kaizer Chiefs drew a first blood few minutes after the interval when Siyabonga Nkosi received a grasscut shot from Tshabalala and made no mistake by scoring.

 Just few minutes after Chiefs took  lead, they applied a lot of pressure that recipitated into a goal from Kingston Nkhata.

We also see few players receiving yellow cards from bad tackles and that really showed the tempo of the game.

Sundowns coach, Neskeen made few changes by bringing in Liberian international, Anthony Laffor who changed the complex of the game.

Mamelodi-based team pulled one back when Clayton Daniels hit a powerful shot that hit a woodwork and amazingly came back to play where it hit Khune who was found in noman’s land and resulted into rather an own goal.

“We tried our best and we played against quality side. We won the first half,but in second half Chiefs won 50/50 balls and that’s where we lost it” Sundowns coach, Johans Naskeens  said. 

Sundowns took control the game when they brought in former Bloemfontein Celtic player, Hlompo Kekana.

 Chiefs also made some few changes when they wanted to stabilise their midfield when they brought in George Lebese for Tshabalala.

 The tempo of the game kept supporters of teams athe edge of their seats as it was a open game and any team looked like scoring at anytime.

“We played very cautious the first fifteen minutes of the game,but after the interval we came forward and applied pressure” Stuart Baxter said. 

Sundowns knocked Chiefs in MTN Top 8 cup a week ago and this is a sweet revenge for the current trendsetter, Kaizer Chiefs who are leading the pack with six points.
