Kaizer Chiefs suffered another loss this season against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League outing staged at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 

A Lucas Ribeiro lone strike was all the defending champions needed to beat the Glamour Boys for the third time this season across all competitions.

Have a look at what the fans said after the game this weekend.

Coach Nabi needs to make some adjustments to the team. They've had ample time to rest and train for this match. It's tough, but Amakhosi for Life! –  Thulaganyo Tom Mogale

We have reached a stage where we even celebrate a loss because it's a good loss! Kaizer Chiefs have fallen –  Dre Chavalala 

Nabi and his favourite son, Yusuf Maart should leave Kaizer Chiefs. A very clueless coach can't manage a big team like Kaizer Chiefs. I  thought he was a good coach but he is a certified plumber hiding behind Young Africans' success – Lukas B-sa

Well done Chiefs, this is the last time Sundowns won against us. We lost with dignity, reducing them to this level we made them work hard for three points – Thabo Moroana

The truth is, this is better than what we expected. I knew we would lose. I thought we would lose with a bigger score. We tried our best. And we must not forget that last season we couldn't even make it to the top 8 but now we are making Sundowns struggle. Glory days will be back but it takes time – Yanga Baker Nyangaza 

‘Boring game, Sundowns played with fatigued players'

 Despite all odds, champions remain champions, win or lose.  I'm just glad we managed to bag another three points even though the PSL board is against us – Mandlenkosi N. Mbona

Fatigue is taking its toll on the yellow nation, and yet they did what had to be done. Congratulations Masandawana, playing four games in nine days and winning all of them is no child's play – Songezo Nangamso Chapa

We were tired, you could see. But we managed to win. Oh! Lucas Ribeiro Costa I see a one-man show in PSL Awards as he might also walk away with the Goal of the Season Award – Siyanda Walls-Mkhwanazi 

Today we just had to win we looked tired we have played so many games this is championship mentality we can't play well every game we move – Hobyane Ntsako Victor

Boring game, Mamelodi Sundowns with fatigued players. The team played for three points, nothing much. Well done boys. Could have done much better but I understand though. The schedule is crazy – Ziko Zoole
