Kaizer Chiefs made it five successive wins in the Betway Premiership with an emphatic 4-1 triumph over Magesi FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Glamour Boys delivered a polished attacking display, with goals from Flavio Da Silva, Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala and Khanyisa Mayo sealing a comfortable victory. After a cagey opening on a heavy surface, Chiefs gradually imposed themselves, with Da Silva providing the breakthrough in the 33rd minute through an individual moment of brilliance. The midfielder controlled a headed pass, flicked the ball up, spun, and fired a precise volley into the far corner. Duba quickly doubled the advantage just four minutes later, reacting quickest at the far post following a defensive lapse from Magesi at a corner.
Holding a 2-0 lead at the break, Amakhosi adopted a measured approach in the second half, inviting pressure and looking to exploit spaces on the counter-attack. The tactic paid off in the 62nd minute when Shabalala finished clinically from close range after a well-worked move involving substitute Reeve Frosler. Magesi FC briefly threatened a comeback when Diteboho Mofokeng headed home in the 69th minute, but any hopes of a revival were short-lived as Chiefs maintained control and continued creating chances.
Mayo eventually put the result beyond doubt in the 83rd minute, heading home from close range after another excellent delivery from Frosler. The victory sees Kaizer Chiefs remain third on the table with 45 points from 23 matches, keeping pressure on the teams above them as the season enters its closing stages. They will return to the same venue this weekend to face Polokwane City,
