Chiefs Might Have Cost Magesi A Cup

IT might have been in the so-called paper cup, but you can bet Mamelodi Sundowns would have been stung by their defeat via the shoot-out from the penalty spot by Kaizer Chiefs in the inaugural Home of Legends Cup on Saturday.

That spells pretty bad news for Premier Soccer League PSL newcomers Magesi FC ahead of the Carling Knockout final against the Brazilians in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

Of course, everyone associated with Sundowns is likely to dismiss that 5-4 defeat to Amakhosi as being of no consequence given that it was in an unofficial off-season competition.

After all, isnt the general consensus that Chiefs are without silverware for the past nine seasons despite the club having won a few such tournaments?

That could well be, but there really is no such thing as a friendly match and with last Saturdays one carrying with it a R1.5m winners cheque, you can bet the loss stung for the Sundowns players who often get to share the winnings.
