It was only for the first time this season that Highlands lost by a three goal margin and ironically they had also conceded three goals in the opening game of the season against Chiefs which they lost 3-2.

In what was a fitting 50th birthday present for the Kaizer Chiefs family, Amakhosi registered a clinical 3-0 win over Highlands Park in an Absa Premiership match played at the FNB stadium last night.

Highlands Park have picked up their confidence in the last two matches with some good wins against Golden Arrows and Black Leopards, they had gone five matches without a win before these two games.

Head coach Ernst Middendorp last won some silverware in the PSL during his first stint with with Chiefs between 2005 and 2007, he has never won a trophy since then.

Chiefs haven’t won some silverware in five years now and it would be fitting if they were to achieve that in the same year they are celebrating their 50th birthday.

The conclusion of Kenyan international Anthony Akumu’s deal with Kaizer Chiefs is imminent.

Bidvest Wits Coach Gavin Hunt says it is too early to talk about who is going to win the league this season.

Meanwhile, Mosimane paid tribute to long-serving Captain Hlompho Kekana, who has played more than 300 matches for the team.

The Brazilians missed so many attackers such as Phakamani Mahlambi, Mauricio Affonso, Ali Meza, Gaston Sirino and Anthony Laffor due to injuries.

Chiefs are on top with 35 points in 15 matches, while the Brazilians are second with 32 points in 16 matches, followed by Wits with 27 points in 13 matches.
