Ashley du Preez and Keagan Dolly were among the goals as Kaizer Chiefs defeated Maritzburg United 3-0 in their first home game of the season. SLSiya MORE:
Chiefs made only two changes to the team that narrowly lost against Royal AM, as Dillan Solomons got his first start alongside debutant George Matlou. Meanwhile, Ashley Du Preez, Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly were retained to lead the attack.
The hosts pressed the Team of Choice high up the pitch and were rewarded on 24 minutes when Ndlovu cleared away Bonginkosi Makume's sloppy pass but only as far as Dolly, who sent a cracking strike into an empty net. Chiefs were irresistible going forward and they should have bagged the third goal a couple of minutes later after Solomons went clear on goal from Matlou's defence-splitting pass but his shot was saved by Ndlovu from point-blank range.Amakhosi were forced to make a substitution at halftime as Nkosingiphile Ngcobo replaced the injured Matlou, who was unable to recover from an earlier knock.
Chiefs were still a threat going forward as Ngcobo had a chance to add a third goal on 65 minutes with a curling strike towards the far post that was pushed away by Ndlovu on a stretch.
