Kaizer Chiefs continued their unbeaten start to the Betway Premiership season with a 3-2 victory against Bloemfontein Celtic (Siwelele FC) at Dobsonville Stadium. The win was secured through goals from Mfundo Vilakazi and Wandile Duba, alongside an own goal by Siwelele goalkeeper Xulu. Despite a late comeback attempt by the opposition, Chiefs held on to reach 11 points.

This victory follows a period of tactical preparation ahead of the Bloemfontein Celtic fixture, where the club sought to address defensive challenges caused by left-back injuries. While players Cross and Mako returned to training, the team focused on potential midfield adjustments involving Lebohang Maboe and Sipheshihle Ndlovu.

Following the result, Kaizer Chiefs remain in third place in the league standings. Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns have extended their lead at the top of the table to 16 points after a 2-1 victory over Golden Arrows, driven by a late strike from Teboho Mokoena.
