Chiefs Lose First Game Of Season In DStv Diski Challenge
Defending champions Kaizer Chiefs suffered a setback in the DStv Diski Challenge, losing 1-0 to TS Galaxy at Solomon Mahlangu Stadium on Sunday.
Amakhosi had started the season on a high note, winning their first two games against Orbit College and Stellenbosch. However, their unbeaten run came to an abrupt end due to a silly own goal.
