KAIZER Chiefs lived up to their dream of returning to the Caf Confederation Cup by coming back from the dead, defeating Orbit College FC in the Betway Premiership match on Monday afternoon, at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Gqeberha.
With this win, the Chiefs, who have been trailing for a long time, have left their dream of returning to African games alive, as one of their acting coaches, Khalil Ben Youssef, said before the game.
Mulbulelo Wagaba opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before Wandile Duba equalized in the 42nd.
The chains of the Chiefs were untied in the 68th minute, when Mduduzi Shabalala put them in the lead with a goal he said he could score and was sent off. Ndlovu scored the third goal created by Flavio Da Silva who had just entered with him.
