Kaizer Chiefs beat Pirates to end long trophy drought Famed South African club Kaizer Chiefs won a first trophy since 2015 when they beat fierce rivals Orlando Pirates 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Chiefs captain and midfielder Yusuf Maart scored the winning goal with a shot from inside the area on 80 minutes before a sell-out 50,000 crowd in Durban. Uruguayan Gaston Sirino had put Chiefs ahead on 10 minutes by converting a penalty and Evidence Makgopa equalised with a header after a free-kick seven minutes later. Victory ended a painful trophy drought for a Johannesburg-based club that, before the final, had won a record 53 domestic competitions since being formed in 1970. It also rescued a disappointing season for Chiefs, who are in the bottom half of the league table with two fixtures to play. The most relieved person in the stadium after the final whistle was Nasreddine Nabi, the Tunisian coach hired by Chiefs for the 2024/2025 season. Poor league form with only eight wins in 26 matches has triggered criticism with many supporters questioning whether he was the right person to revive the fortunes of the club. “I am very happy for the supporters. We became disorganised after Pirates levelled, but improved in the second half,” said Nabi. “Our second-half substitutions brought more balance to the team and the players became more confident.” Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, who is leaving Pirates at the end of the season after three years with the Soweto outfit, was bitterly disappointed with the outcome and the football. “It was a very ugly match from beginning to end. It is difficult for us right now, but the club will recover. “You cannot win all of them (finals),” Riveiro added after suffering his first loss in six finals since joining Pirates.

Sundowns move closer to eighth straight league title Leaders Mamelodi Sundowns won 2-0 at Cape Town City on Saturday, leaving the Pretoria club needing seven points from four matches to seal an eighth straight South African league title. Second-placed Orlando Pirates are 12 points behind with two matches in hand after recovering from conceding a second-minute goal to edge arch rivals Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in Johannesburg. Tashreeq Matthews put Sundowns ahead on 34 minutes at the Cape Town Stadium, finishing a brilliant defence-splitting pass from South African international Iqraam Rayners. Another superb pass, this time from Brazilian Arthur Sales, set up Rayners for the second goal on 77 minutes as he beat goalkeeper Darren Keet from close range. Rayners has scored 11 league goals this season, two less than teammate and Golden Boot chart-topper Lucas Ribeiro. “Both goals were beautiful. I am proud to coach this humble squad of hard working players,” said Miguel Cardoso, the Portuguese coach of Sundowns. Cardoso has repeatedly hit out recently about the congested fixture list of Sundowns, but they showed no signs of tiredness as they outplayed bottom club Cape Town. After four more Premiership matches, Sundowns must prepare for the CAF Champions League final against Egyptian club Pyramids, with the first leg in Pretoria on May 24. After the return match in Cairo on June 1, the South African outfit will switch their focus to the Club World Cup from June 14 in the United States. Sundowns have been placed in Group F with Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund and South Korean club Ulsan. The mini-league winners and runners-up advance to the knockout stage. Meanwhile, Makabi Lilepo from the Democratic Republic of Congo stunned Pirates by putting Chiefs ahead inside two minutes with a snap shot before a sell-out 87,000 crowd. Pirates gradually settled and Evidence Makgopa levelled on 24 minutes by placing a close-range shot between the legs of goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma. A scrappy Soweto derby, constantly interrupted by injuries and fouls, was settled after 69 minutes when Relebohile Mofokeng slammed a loose ball into the far corner of the net. The clubs meet again next Saturday in the South African FA Cup final in Durban. str-dl/iwd The post Sundowns move closer to eighth straight league title appeared first on The Namibian.
