Kaizer Chiefs win eighth in a row to pull 11 clear of Orlando Pirates

Kaizer Chiefs continued their perfect run in the DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) after making it eight wins in a row with a 2-1 win over Milford FC on Sunday.

Chiefs have been in perfect form and after putting together a seven-game winning run, they extended it to eight on the bounce with the defeat of Milford.

The Glamour Boys added to the woes of Milford, who have one win this season, with Neo Bohloko scoring the opening goal via the penalty spot after 11 minutes.

Kaizer Chiefs stay firm to claim three points

Midway through the opening half, Matala Makhubo made it 2-0 for Vela Khumalo’s side and they held onto their lead until the 72^nd minute when Milford threatened a comeback.

The home side pulled one back through Fagan Van Der Vint but Chiefs held firm to claim another three points which now leaves them top of the table with 24 points from eight games.

Chiefs are five points ahead of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who thrashed AmaZulu FC 3-0 on Saturday.

Amakhosi leave Pirates 11 points behind

Most importantly, Chiefs have pulled 11 points clear of champions Orlando Pirates, who lost 3-1 to Richards Bay on Saturday.

Pirates look to be surrendering their title so early in the season as the loss to Richards Bay was their third this season and they will have to improve remarkably to catch Khumalo’s young guns.

The roles seem to be reversed this season as last term, Chiefs, who had claimed the title in 2025, fell off badly as Pirates matched to their maiden crown and now, Amakhosi are riding high as the Buccaneers quickly fade off.
