Kaizer Chiefs secure third position and CAF Confederation Cup spot following Sekhukhune triumph

The win propels Chiefs to 51 points from 28 matches, seven clear of fourth-placed AmaZulu with two rounds remaining. They are now uncatchable in third.

Chiefs still face a trip to Usuthu next Saturday, a match that once seemed crucial in that contest, prior to hosting relegation-battling Chippa United on the last day.

Morris netted his debut goal for Chiefs since the 2-2 stalemate against AmaZulu in February 2025, after seeing minimal action this term.

This marked his initial league outing of the season, alongside just one prior appearance in the Carling Knockout.

He poked the ball home at the far post following Glody Lilepo's excellent low delivery from the right flank in the 86th minute.

Vilakazi converted the penalty to confirm the victory and ensure continental action for the team next season.

Though not their finest performance, the Soweto outfit accomplished the task and earned a merited success.

They missed the suspended Siphesihle Ndlovu, plus the hurt Wandile Duba and Mdu Shabalala, both key contributors lately.

Gaston Sirino entered the lineup yet endured a forgettable night overall.

He narrowly missed from the left edge of the area, then compelled Sekhukhune keeper Toaster Nsabata to parry a 35-yard strike.

Sirino later shot tamely at the keeper when receiving the ball inside the penalty area.

Glody Lilepo drew a solid stop from Nsabata with a fierce 20-yard effort that nearly crept in at the near corner, before the pair of late strikes clinched the result.
