CAPE TOWN – Kaizer Chiefs secured a morale-boosting 3-2 win over Highlands Park in their opening league match of the season at a packed Makhulong Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Amakhosi were off to the perfect start when with just four minutes played, new signing Kearyn Baccus whipped in a cross from the right, which was met with a decisive near-post glancing header into the back of the net from Manyama. — SuperSport August 4, 2019 Chiefs did come close to adding a second goal when Samir Nurkovic's diving header on 31 minutes went marginally wide, but overall, it was the Lions of the North who looked the better and more industrious side for the remainder of the first half.
The lead didn't last long however as Chiefs hit back within a minute, Manyama neatly guiding in a volley after Nurkovic had nodded the ball into his path.
Good start
