Kaizer Chiefs played to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Cape Town City midweek, a result that leaves them nervously glancing at the standings.
Chiefs Struggle to Break Down City’s Defense
Despite dominating possession and firing 17 shots at goal, Kaizer Chiefs couldn’t find the back of the net. Mduduzi Shabalala wasted a golden opportunity in the 42nd minute, and aside from that, the team struggled to create any real chances. The draw leaves them in eighth place on the Betway Premiership table with 29 points from 21 games. Golden Arrows are right behind them in ninth with 24 points, but they have three games in hand. It’s not out of the question that Arrows could leapfrog Chiefs before the season’s end. Arrows won 1-0 away to Polokwane, and with the two teams set to meet on March 30th, that game could prove crucial in the battle for a top-eight finish.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Transfer Strategy Undergoes Shift
In response to their current struggles, Kaizer Chiefs are planning a major overhaul of their squad at the end of the season. One of their targets is 24-year-old Bafana Bafana midfielder Luke Le Roux, currently playing in Europe. Chiefs are reportedly looking to avoid competition with local rivals by signing players who are not in high demand within South Africa. A source confirmed that this change in strategy is part of the club’s efforts to improve their recruitment and target players who are outside the radar of other top teams.
