Kaizer Chiefs triumphed over Marumo Gallants in a 4-3 penalty shootout to claim the Cufa Cup, thanks to goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, who saved two penalties. Despite dominating chances, Chiefs’ inability to finish was evident, with Ranga Chivaviro and other attackers missing key opportunities in normal time, resulting in a 0-0 draw at the Free State Stadium.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi experimented with new combinations, including Inacio Miguel and Given Msimango in defense, while fringe players featured for Marumo. The match saw a lackluster crowd due to uncertainty around Gallants’ participation, which was only confirmed hours before kickoff. Played in scorching 34°C heat, Chiefs were superior but couldn’t capitalize on chances, leading to the tense penalty shootout.
