Overview
- Kaizer Chiefs, who beat Sekhukhune United 2-0 on Sunday, sealed third place after late goals from substitutes Tashreeq Morris and Mfundo Vilakazi.
- Co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef said finishing in the top three was the club’s minimum target this season.
- He explained key absences against Sekhukhune, citing Lebohang Maboe’s rest for fatigue, Siphesihle Ndlovu’s suspension, and injuries to Wandile Duba and Mduduzi Shabalala.
- Chiefs started Gaston Sirino, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Sibongiseni Mthethwa as part of a rotation plan that Ben Youssef said kept fringe players ready.
- Mamelodi Sundowns face TS Galaxy on Tuesday without suspended Khuliso Mudau and Jayden Adams, as coach Miguel Cardoso warns a league game between CAF Champions League final legs is unworkable.
