Kaizer Chiefs forward Khanyisa Mayo was among the goals as Amakhosi secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Magesi on Wednesday evening.
Goals from Flávio Silva, Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala and Mayo ensured all three points for Chiefs at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Mayo, who has struggled for consistency since joining the club in September, netted his second goal in as many matches after coming off the bench. The former Cape Town City FC forward will be eager to build on his recent form as he looks to secure a permanent move to Naturena, with seven matches remaining this season.
Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef believes the goal could prove vital in restoring Mayo’s confidence.
“Also very proud of the players coming from injuries, coming from the bench, they gave us support and what we asked from them,” said Ben Youssef.
“Reeve was back, gave us two assists, and Mayo scored his second goal in the league — he’s back. It’s very good for the confidence of the striker.”
Ben Youssef also highlighted the strength in depth within the squad, stressing that the team does not rely on individuals.

“As I said from the beginning, we have a big squad. We’re not a team that depends on one or two players — any player who is ready will fight and help the team,” Ben Youssef said as per iDiski Times.
Amakhosi now sit on 45 points from 23 league matches, firmly in contention for a top-three finish as the Betway Premiership season heads into its final stretch.
