Nobody could get near Mduduzi Shabalala
Successful dribbles: 45. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bradley Cross
41 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Kaizer Chiefs lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The run at home goes on for Kaizer Chiefs
13 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Platinum Stars come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Kaizer Chiefs did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Real improvement from Shaun Els at Kaizer Chiefs
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Shaun Els is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Tempers go at Kaizer Chiefs
Rushwin Dortley was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A late step up for Nkosingiphile Ngcobo
At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Graduation day at Kaizer Chiefs
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Polokwane City watching Shaun Els
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Kaizer Chiefs have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
