Kaizer Chiefs continued their impressive start to the 2026/27 DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) campaign after securing a 2-0 victory over Siwelele FC at the UJ Soweto Stadium on Sunday.
Amakhosi extended their winning streak to six matches, maintaining their 100% record and strengthening their position at the top of the DDC standings.
Chiefs made a bright start to the encounter, with Tashiel Rugananan opening the scoring just seven minutes into the match to hand Vela Khumalo’s side an early advantage.
The Soweto giants got a setback in the 79th minute when Emile Dortley was sent off after receiving his second red card of the season. However, despite finishing with 10 men, Chiefs remained resolute and managed to find a second goal in stoppage time to seal all three points.
The victory takes Chiefs to 18 points from six matches, extending their lead at the summit to five points. Mamelodi Sundowns occupy second place with 13 points, level with third-placed Sekhukhune United, while Golden Arrows are fourth with 12 points.
