Johannesburg – In a dramatic turn of events, Kaizer Chiefs pulled off a sensational smash-and-grab to book their place in the Nedbank Cup final, stunning tournament favourites Mamelodi Sundowns in a tense semi-final showdown.
The clash, which took place under the bright lights and high expectations, saw Sundowns dominate much of the first half — and they were finally rewarded when they broke the deadlock just before the halftime whistle.
But Chiefs, true to their never-say-die spirit, came out fighting in the second half. Their persistence paid off when Wandile Duba found the back of the net to bring Amakhosi level and reignite the hopes of their passionate supporters.
With the match heading toward extra time, it seemed both teams were preparing for a nervy finish. However, a crucial defensive error by Sundowns late in the game opened the door for Chiefs — and they didn’t hesitate. The Glamour Boys capitalized, slotting home a late winner to snatch victory from the jaws of a looming extra-time battle.
It was a stunning end to a fiercely competitive encounter, and Kaizer Chiefs will now march into the Nedbank Cup final, riding high on belief, momentum, and that trademark Amakhosi magic.
