Chiefs Thump Stellies 3-1 To Join Pirates In Nedbank Cup Semis

Could 2025 be the year Kaizer Chiefs break their 10-year-long trophy drought?

This is certainly the question after Amakhosi's emphatic 3-1 win over Stellenbosch FC in the quarterfinal of the Nedbank Cup at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Saturday.

Chiefs joined their Soweto rivals and defending champions Orlando Pirates in the semifinal.

The win, a third one against Steve Barker's side this season, came as result of 19th minute penalty which was converted by Chiefs defender Miguel Inacio after Stellies centre-back Ismael Toure had handled Gaston Sirino's cross in the area.

Toure was lucky not to get his marching orders from referee Sikhumbuzo Gasa for hitting Sirino with an open hand in the face six minutes before the interval.
