Kaizer Chiefs emerged as the standout winners from Matchday 11 of the Betway Premiership, taking full advantage as Mamelodi Sundowns, Sekhukhune United, and Orlando Pirates all dropped points in a weekend full of drama and decisive moments.
The action kicked off on Friday night in eThekwini, where Flavio Silva’s late strike earned Chiefs a crucial 1-0 win over Durban City. The victory lifted Amakhosi to fourth on the log, just three points behind leaders Sundowns — a major boost for the Soweto giants as they look to build consistency under mounting expectations.
In Tshwane, defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns were held to a 1-1 draw by Orlando Pirates on Saturday. Peter Shalulile opened the scoring for the hosts, but Pirates’ Cemran Dansin equalised to ensure the spoils were shared. The Buccaneers sit third, level on points with Chiefs, but have a game in hand — keeping the race for the top spots wide open.
Elsewhere, Sekhukhune United’s title push took a hit as they fell 1-0 to Siwelele FC in Bloemfontein, with 20-year-old Siviwe Magidigidi netting the winner. AmaZulu climbed to fifth after dismantling Chippa United 3-0 in East London, thanks to a Hendrick Ekstein brace and an Athini Maqokolo strike.
Orbit College continued their fairytale run with a 3-1 win over Magesi FC in Rustenburg, marking their first-ever back-to-back top-flight victories. TS Galaxy deepened Stellenbosch FC’s struggles with a 2-0 win in Mbombela, while Golden Arrows capped off the weekend in style, cruising past Marumo Gallants 4-0 — Thokozani Khumalo starring with two goals and an assist off the bench.
With just three points separating the top four, the Betway Premiership is heating up — and Kaizer Chiefs look determined to stay in the mix.
