Kaizer Chiefs enjoyed a good weekend in the Gauteng Development League, with their u19 team beating Tuks 5-2.

Just when many believed that SuperSport United had announced themselves as real title contenders this season, following a stunning clean sweep of Panorama FC last weekend, Mamelodi Sundowns inflicted a humbling 3-1 defeat on the sky blues of Tshwane at Clapham High School on Sunday.

Two of the league’s most exciting forwards, Bohlale Ngwato and Michael Alagiozulu, had already made a big impression in the SuperSport United colours, prompting many to predict bright things for the club in this season’s Gauteng Development League.

However, their toughest challenge presented itself on Sunday, with United facing a red-hot Sundowns side away from home.

Despite the tough task that awaited them, many still picked SuperSport to pull off one of the upsets of the season. Then, when the United u13 team beat Sundowns 2-1, for a first ever win over the Brazilians, that belief was bolstered.

However, coach Surprise Moriri‘s Sundowns’ u19 side showed up and showed off once again, recording a 3-1 win to maintain their unbeaten run in the league thus far.

In other results, Kaizer Chiefs was also one of the winners, convincingly beating Tuks 5-2 at the Naturena Village, while the defending champions, Highlands Park, fresh off a draw against Chiefs, which was preceded by a defeat against Sundowns, got back to winning ways at the Greek Sporting Club, where they beat Joburg City 2-1.

Jomo Cosmos and Randburg AFC shared 1-1 draws with Wits Junior and Rosina Sedibane Modiba respectively.

East Rand Athletic Club pulled off a shock when they lowered the colours of the Remember Elite Sport Academy (RESA), taking a 2-1 win, while NWU Vaal cruised to a 3-0 win over Sevens Academy to infuse some momentum into their campaign.
