Kaizer Chiefs FC maintained a promising start to the South African league season under new Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi with a 3-1 win at AmaZulu on Wednesday. Ranga Chivaviro, Uruguayan Gaston Sirino, and Angolan Inacio Miguel scored in the first half in Durban before Nigerian Etiosa Ighodaro pulled one goal back just after half-time.

What happened?

Kaizer Chiefs FC have won a record 53 domestic trophies, but none in the past nine seasons, leading to Nabi being hired from Moroccan club FAR Rabat.

Why it matters for Kaizer Chiefs FC

Victory over AmaZulu, coupled with a first-round win at Marumo Gallants, places Chiefs fourth, behind title-holders Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Golden Arrows on goal difference.

What comes next?

Chiefs host Sundowns on Saturday in the first major test for a team Nabi says is "under construction with a lot to learn".
