Kaizer Chiefs U23 Overview

Although the Sea Robbers have been in fine form, they went down to their local traditional rivals in a tightly fought encounter. The defeat is a blow to the Buccaneers, who were keen to win and widen the gap between them and Mamelodi Sundowns. By winning the game, the Glamour Boys have ensured their dominance in this fixture continues.

The Soweto outfits ended the week on the back foot following disappointing results in their respective Sunday morning fixtures. The Buccaneers were forced to settle for a single point, while Amakhosi suffered a heavy defeat in a five-goal encounter that compounded their struggles.

Following the strong statement by Amakhosi football manager Bobby Motaung in recent weeks that the Soweto side had no intentions of signing new players, the surprising announcement of Cape Town City player Xhosa Manyana joining the Naturena-based team raised eyebrows. However, the club has since come forward to explain the reason behind the new acquisition.

The Soweto Giants have a massive opportunity to show their potential when they play in Europe against some top sides. Their Sporting Director is anticipating a tough outing but insists there will be a lot to learn for the players, and the club will, in the long run, benefit. In the previous season, Stellenbosch represented Mzansi.
