Kaizer Chiefs made it eight wins from eight after their 2-1 victory over Milford in the DStv Diski Challenge at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Amakhosi have been near-perfect as they looked for a positive start after missing out on the title last season to Orlando Pirates whilst also lagging behind Mamelodi Sundowns.
And after seven consecutive wins to start the season, Neo Bohloko got them off to the perfect start, slotting home an 11th minute penalty over the newcomers in the league who have only one win this season.
Matala Makhubo doubled the lead mid-way through the half which put Vela Khumalo’s side in a commanding position at the break.
But the home side fought back in the second half with Fagan Van Der Vint pulling one back in the 72nd minute but it wasn’t enough to stop the Amakhosi train with 24 points of out a possible 24, five points ahead of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns after eight games played.
Masandawana eased to a 3-0 win over AmaZulu, while Richards Bay stunned reigning champions Pirates with a 3-1 victory.
