Kaizer Chiefs vs AmaZulu: Who Are the Key Players?
One of the key players for Kaizer Chiefs is new striker Khanyisa Mayo. Mayo has played one match for Chiefs and has already opened his scoring account in his new side’s colours. The 27-year-old striker carries Chiefs’ hopes in front of goal.
He scored four goals in 27 appearances for CR Belouizdad in the 2024/25 Algerian Ligue 1 season. Mayo found the back of the net 10 times in 28 appearances for Cape Town City in the 2023/24 Betway Premiership campaign.
Hendrick Ekstein is, undoubtedly, one of the key players for AmaZulu, especially in this fixture. Ekstein has scored two goals in seven appearances for Usuthu. Ekstein used to play for Chiefs before joining Sabah in the Azerbaijan Premier League.
The 34-year-old midfielder knows how Chiefs operates and has a score to settle with his old employers, who did not offer him a new contract when he returned from Azerbaijan.
