Kaizer Chiefs extended their winning streak to four with a dominant 2-0 win over TS Galaxy in their Betway premiership encounter at FNB stadium on Sunday.
Flavio Da Sliva headed Amakhosi into a halftime lead before Glody Lilepo wrapped up the three points with a superb solo goal in the 75th minute, following a 30 minute delay due to a flash Highveld storm.
With Galaxy struggling for points in the league, Chiefs made the early running looking to put their visitors on the back foot from the start. In bright early autumn sunshine, Amakhosi played with the confidence that comes from winning their last three games.
Moving the ball with pace and sharpness, they created some good chances, with Mduduzi Shabalala going close twice within 60 seconds inside the first five minutes. He also had a goal-bound effort blocked in the 10th minute.
A few moments later Glody Lilepo saw his fierce shot from range saved by Tape Ira, as Chiefs swarmed forward at every opportunity. They kept the pressure on, utilising the flanks to stretch the Galaxy defence which, at times, could barely contain the home side’s attacking momentum.
Lebohang Maboe came close to opening the scoring in the 30th minute following a neat interchange with Da Silva on the edge of the box slipped him in behind the defence, but he couldn’t get his shot on target as it bounced awkwardly in front of him.
The inevitable breakthrough came in the 35th minute as Thabiso Monyane and Shabalala combined well down the right and the forward wriggled free of his marker before floating a perfectly weighted cross for Da Silva to head home from five yards out.
Lilepo almost scored a second on the stroke of halftime with a trademark 35-yard free kick that only cleared the bar by an inch or two, yet Chiefs went into the halftime interval well on top with a deserved one goal lead.
Amakhosi maintained their dominance when play resumed, just as they had in the first half, as play was condensed inside the Rockets’ half with wave after wave of attack coming every time they temporarily cleared their lines. Lilepo again tried his luck in the 50th minute but failed to hit the target.
