Golden Arrows vs Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to build up on their Soweto Derby win over Orlando Pirates when they visit Golden Arrows on Saturday.

The last time Chiefs visited Abafana Bas’thende, they were edged 2-1 in April 2022 and Arrows had also beaten them 1-0 to complete a double last season. Amakhosi collide with Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, on the backdrop of an inspiring win over Pirates in their last league outing. They opened the season with a 1-0 defeat by Royal AM at Chatsworth Stadium in August, before falling 2-1 to Chippa United at Moses Mabhida on October 15.

Kaizer Chiefs resumed their league campaign with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Golden Arrows at the Moses Mabhida on Saturday.

The home side's day went from bad to worse in injury time when substitute Siyabonga Khumalo was shown a second yellow card and sent off for a clumsy tackle. All the pressure eventually paid off seven minutes before the halftime break when the home team were scrappy in clearing a corner and Edmilson pounced to put the ball in the back of the net. Abafana Bes'thende needed a jolt from the coaching staff at the interval and it seemed like they received it as they came back from the dressing room with renewed purpose.

When play restarted Arrows were again quick out of the blocks and again, they failed to make an impact. Another member of Chiefs' Foreign Legion Edmilson Dove intervened in dramatic fashion to net the side's second goal in the 38th minute. Bimenyimana held off a challenge by defender Ntsikelelo Nxadi and then unleashed a shot across the face of the goalmouth, beyond the reach of Arrows keeper Sifiso Mlungwana. Arrows did not always see the threat out wide, and they allowed several Chiefs players to run from deep options to wage attacks in the opposition half. Arrows striker Ryan Moon (ex-Chiefs) threatened with a deft header, but Chiefs' keeper Itumeleng Khune pulled off a fine save with an aerobatic dive to parry the ball. The outcome marked back-to-back wins for Chiefs after they grabbed a 1-0 Soweto Derby win courtesy of a magic Yusuf Maart goal in October.

The two played off the bench and Shabalala came close to finding the back of the net. Young Zwane, who is the son of former Orlando Pirates star midfielder Eugene Zwane, and Maart bossed the midfield allowing the visitors to control the play and their attackers to do their business with a lot of freedom. Khune showed many why he is still the fans' favourite as he produced a number of world class saves to ensure Amakhosi end the year on a high.

“But they are part and parcel of us and the team simply because of the abilities and qualities they have as individuals.” They are at home, they have seen the young boys and how they did well so they are going to have to work hard to get back into the team,” the coach said. “But we planned for that — they suck you in and wait for the right moment to play the ball behind you and we had to prepare our players to drop and centre.”
