Kaizer Chiefs fans were just starting to settle into the ride. Five games unbeaten. Four wins, one draw. A team that suddenly looks like it has remembered who it is.
Then came the FIFA international break. And just like that, momentum stalled. Nasreddine Nabi’s men had just put together their best run of the season, scoring five and conceding none.
New signings were starting to click. Fans dared to believe a proper turnaround was brewing.
NEXT BETWAY PREMIERSHIP MATCH FOR KAIZER CHIEFS
Coming up next is the big test. Log leaders Sekhukhune United, coached by Eric Tinkler, the Premier Soccer League’s August Coach of the Month holder.
Babina Noko will arrive at FNB Stadium on Tuesday, 16 September, at 19:30, bringing an unbeaten record of their own (four wins and a draw).
Recent Kaizer Chiefs results:
- 2-0 win over Stellenbosch FC
- 1-0 win over Polokwane City
- 1-0 win over Richards Bay
- 0-0 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns
- 1-0 win over Golden Arrows
The break won’t erase the progress, but it has pushed pause. When the lights switch back on at FNB, Kaizer Chiefs will need to prove that the rhythm they’ve found can survive a two-week silence.
