Sekhukhune Go Top With 3-1 Win at Chiefs as Reports Emerge of Nabi Exit

With questions over his CAF eligibility reported, assistants are expected to lead Kaizer Chiefs in Saturday’s Confederation Cup trip to Angola.

Overview

  • Bradley Grobler scored twice and set up Thabang Monare as Sekhukhune beat Kaizer Chiefs 3-1 at FNB Stadium, handing Amakhosi their first league loss and first conceded goals of the season.
  • The result moved Sekhukhune to 16 points at the summit, with Mamelodi Sundowns on 14 and Chiefs third on 13 after six matches.
  • Head coach Nasreddine Nabi said defensive mistakes and long balls undid Chiefs, calling the defeat an accident and urging calm before their continental opener.
