Both sides failed to find the back of the net as the game ended 0-0, leaving Chiefs more disappointed.

Coming into the game, Chiefs had only won one of their last eight opening games of the season.

With Chiefs giving a debut to many of their new signings, hopes were high that they would get all three points. Chiefs had nine shots during the whole game, with only three on target, while the Chilli Boys also had nine shots in the match, but managed four on target.

Speaking after the game, Chippa coach Morgan Mammila said his team should have actually beaten Chiefs.

"To be honest, we should have won this match. I only saw Chiefs in the last 10 minutes," he said.

Amakhosi fans will be hoping that their side fare better in their next DStv Premiership fixture. The Soweto side will have a quick turnaround as they take on defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns on August 9.

Motaung pleads for patience

Kaizer Motaung wants Amakhosi supporters to give Molefi Ntseki a fair shot.

The former Bafana Bafana interim manager was appointed Kaizer Chiefs’ new head coach, replacing Arthur Zwane.

The Amakhosi boss has now called on supporters to be patient with the new head coach as he tries to turn the club’s fortunes around, Sports Brief reported.

Ntseki appointed new Chiefs manager

Kaizer Chiefs have appointed a new manager to take charge of the side effective immediately, but it’s not the name everyone was expecting, Sports Brief reported.

The Soweto-based club has appointed Ntseki to replace Arthur Zwane as manager, with 10111 returning to an assistant coaching role with Dillon Sheppard.
