U17s - Cosmos 1 – 2 Chiefs

 

“The Kaizer Chiefs U17 team gave themselves a great chance of catching log leaders Jomo Cosmos when they defeated them 2-1 at the weekend. it means that Chiefs have cut Cosmos’ lead to six points, with the Amakhosi having played two games less. Markus Jordan scored in the 45th minute and Rivaldo Malema in the 70th to secure victory for the Chiefs U17s, who won their third game in succession and are undefeated in their last six league games.” 

 

U19s - Cosmos 2 – 0 Chiefs

 

“The Kaizer Chiefs U19 team were defeated 2-0 against their counterparts from the Cosmos U-19 team in their Gauteng Development League clash at the weekend. The team were hoping to build on their result from the previous weekend when they defeated Highlands Park but were unable to do so. This result means that they were unable to close the gap on log leaders Bidvest Wits.”
