Champions Kaizer Chiefs make history with big AmaZulu FC victory as Orlando Pirates striker scoops Golden Boot award

Kaizer Chiefs made DStv Diski Challenge League history after beating AmaZulu 5-0 during a Sunday game.

Manqoba Ozoemena, Naledi Hlongwane, and Siphesihle Tati scored for the Naturena outfit.

Meanwhile, Chiefs were dominant from the word go, and in the sixth minute, they broke the deadlock. In-form Ozoemena scored by beating AmaZulu goalkeeper Erasmus Enrique to put the champions in the lead.

Chiefs doubled their lead in the 23rd minute, and again it was Ozoemena who scored. Enrique made a goalkeeping blunder and in that process gifted the Chiefs' star an opportunity to score again.

The Glamour Boys were as dominant in the second half as they were in the first, and by the 59th minute, they had their third goal. Ozoemena was brought down, and Hlongwane scored from the resultant penalty.

Chiefs scored the fourth goal in the 66th minute, with Ozoemena playing a crucial role again. He forced the Usuthu goalkeeper into a mistake, collected the ball, and passed it to Tati, who found the back of the net.

Ambitious visitors surely put the game beyond Usuthu's reach when Hlongwane scored after he precisely timed a free kick from Neo Bohloko in the 81st minute.

As Chiefs savour their big win, Orlando Pirates will celebrate after their star Sphamandla Msezane won the Golden Boot by scoring 15 goals.

Meanwhile, Amakhosi generally had a successful campaign and became champions with a few matches to go. They became the first-ever side to earn 70 points in the competition.

Now, fans will be eager to see which youngsters will be promoted to the senior team following impressive exploits with the DDC side. Imaad Hendricks, Ozoemena, and Hlongwane have been some of the outstanding players.

After winning the title and receiving a guard of honour during their last game against Usuthu, Chiefs will hope to replicate the same energy in the next season.
