Flávio Silva scored the winning goal as Kaizer Chiefs’ dream start to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership continues. Amakhosi beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday, 30 August.
Silva netted his first goal of the season exactly ten minutes after he was introduced in the place of Ashley Du Preez. It was a dream debut for the new signing, who came on in the 59th minute of the match.
Out of excitement, Silva took off his shirt while celebrating his first goal for his new club, which earned him his first yellow card in Chiefs’ colours.
