Kaizer Chiefs produced one of their finest performances of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, overcoming an early setback to defeat Orbit College 3-1 at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Gqeberha on Easter Monday. After Mbulelo Wagaba's unexpected opener for the hosts in the 22nd minute, Wandile Duba equalized with a well-taken volley in the 42nd minute following a precision through ball from Bradly Cross. The result marks Amakhosi's comprehensive double over the promoted side, having scored four goals in both encounters this season and showcasing their dominance against relegation-threatened opponents.
The second half witnessed Kaizer Chiefs raise their intensity considerably, particularly after introducing Siphesihle Ndlovu and Flavio Da Silva in the 60th minute. This tactical adjustment liberated Mduduzi Shabalala to showcase his talents, and he delivered a clinical finish in the 68th minute off a Thabiso Monyane cross. Ndlovu then sealed the victory with a consummate finish from the edge of the box in the 78th minute, putting the game beyond doubt and demonstrating the visitors' superior quality.
The victory elevates Kaizer Chiefs into third place in the league standings with 39 points from 21 matches, positioning them one point ahead of fourth-placed AmaZulu with two games in hand. The emphatic performance suggests Amakhosi have found their rhythm after the international break and emerged as genuine contenders in the title race, having showcased both resilience and attacking prowess against a determined Orbit College side.
