Mayo Scores on Debut as Kaizer Chiefs Held by Gallants

The stalemate extends a three-game winless run under interim coaches ahead of a deficit to overturn against Kabuscorp at FNB Stadium.

Overview

  • Kaizer Chiefs drew 1-1 with Marumo Gallants at FNB Stadium, with Khanyisa Mayo opening the scoring on his debut before Jaison Clifford’s 75th‑minute equaliser.
  • Gaston Sirino had a first‑half penalty saved by Washington Arubi and missed another clear chance early in the second period.
  • Chiefs are winless in three matches across all competitions after a 3-1 league loss to Sekhukhune United and a 1-0 defeat away to Kabuscorp.
  • Assistants Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze continue to lead the side following Nasreddine Nabi’s exit, with public scrutiny of the central defence including criticism of Aden McCarthy.
  • Chiefs host Kabuscorp next in the CAF Confederation Cup second leg, trailing 1-0 from Luanda and needing a 2-0 home win to advance; Ben Youssef says Mayo is not yet ready for 90 minutes.
