  • Kaizer Chiefs' unbeaten run has been ended by Stellenbosch in the DStv Premiership, much to fans' horror
  • The fans are disappointed that they have not picked up all three points in order to compete for the top spot in the league
  • Many took to the timeline to comment about how they felt and some criticised Stuart Baxter once again for his tactics

Kaizer Chiefs' good run has come to an end after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Stellenbosch in the DStv Premiership on Tuesday afternoon. Amakhosi had been unbeaten in their last four in the league but the celebrations came to an end and they had to come back to reality.

A stellar out of the box goal by Ashley du Preez saw Stellenbosch take the lead in the first half and Chiefs could not come back from that. Stellenbosch are currently unbeaten in the league and are now in second place, level on points with Mamelodi Sundowns who have two games in hand.

Kaizer Chiefs fans were starting to get optimistic about the season but the loss has forced them to re-evaluate what's been happening in the team. Many reacted on social media and had a lot to say. Check out the comments below:

@Cellular_Jnr said:

"You seriously thought we will win with Mathoho and Cardoso?... Clearly, we don't have a coach here."

@Tobisani1 commented:

"Very disappointing result after two games in a row. This inconsistency is unacceptable. We need to win such games if we want to compete."

@_sunogo said:

"I'm a Kaizer Chiefs fan for 30 years and I think Baxter needs more time. He is a great tactician and players love him."

@aey_dear commented:

"This thing of Kaizer Chiefs behaving like load shedding this time we're on, winning and scoring goals and next time we're off should stop."

Stellenbosch's game plan includes putting a stop to Keagan Dolly

Briefly News previously reported that Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker was looking ahead to the clash with Kaizer Chiefs and identified which player he has to look out for in the opposition. He revealed that his side's goal will be to subdue Keagan Dolly so that they can get all three points.

Steve Barker's side has had a great start to the league and currently occupy the second position. Stellenbosch has played nine matches in the DStv Premiership and are yet to lose a game. They are now level on points with Mamelodi Sundowns.

The experienced coach singled out the Bafana Bafana midfielder, who is also the frontman in Chiefs' newfound form according to KickOff.
