Kaizer Chiefs fans were left wondering after suffering a 2-1 loss to SuperSport United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening.
New man Tashreeq Morris scored the only goal in the 44th minute to hand Amakhosi their second loss of the season. The two teams played last weekend at the same stadium in the Carling Knockout Cup with Chiefs giving Matsatsantsa a proper hiding.
Gavin Hunt‘s men played Amakhosi’s rivals Orlando Pirates midweek and suffered a 2-0 defeat leaving them badly wounded ahead of Saturday’s match. Coming into the match, The Glamour Boys were favourites to win against an inexperienced SuperSport team.
Kaizer Chiefs fans unhappy following Matsatsantsa defeat
Kaizer Chiefs had most of the ball but struggled to break the SuperSport defence which held their lines. A quick transition saw Hunt’s men open the scoring a few minutes from halftime. Morris finished off a brilliant pass from the right side to give SuperSport the lead.
Amakhosi came strong in the second half but failed to find the equaliser. This loss sees Nasreddine Nabi’s team drop to ninth in the Betway Premiership.
Kaizer Chiefs fans took to X (Twitter) to vent their frustration on some of the players.

Can Chiefs bounce back?
