During the first half, Kaizer Chiefs dominated possession, with Ashley du Preez, Christian Saile, and Pule Mmodi creating promising chances. However, Cape Town City finished the half strongly, with Mayo coming close to scoring but narrowly missing with a glancing header.

In the 71st minute, Kaizer Chiefs had an opportunity to equalize with a well-executed free-kick. Njabulo Ngcobo’s header seemed destined for the back of the net, but City’s goalkeeper, Darren Keet, pulled off an equally impressive save.
Khanyisa Mayo, who had attracted interest from Kaizer Chiefs in the past, proved to be a formidable force throughout the game. His impactful performance and winning goal earned him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title of the match.
This defeat adds to the challenges faced by coach Molefi Ntseki, who will undoubtedly be looking to regroup and strategize for the upcoming fixtures. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Kaizer Chiefs to see how they bounce back from this setback and reclaim their winning form.
