Overview

  • Chiefs leveled the tie 1-1 on aggregate with a 1-0 win at FNB Stadium and advanced 5-4 on penalties, featuring a Brandon Petersen save and Aden McCarthy’s clincher.
  • Glody Lilepo scored the decisive goal in regulation to overturn the first-leg deficit after the 1-0 loss in Luanda.
  • Head coach Nasreddine Nabi remains unavailable for CAF duty due to a licensing dispute, with assistants Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef in charge.
  • Kaze called progression a “very big relief” and highlighted the need to build momentum as finishing concerns persist, with only one match this season yielding more than a single Chiefs goal.
  • Chiefs await the AS Simba–Djabal winner for the next round, while Khanyisa Mayo becomes eligible for upcoming fixtures and the team prepares to host AmaZulu on Wednesday.
