Kaizer Chiefs enjoyed the better of the opening stages and deservedly took the lead through Flávio Silva. However, Kruger United responded well, with Ndlovu finding the equaliser before half-time to give the home supporters hope of an upset.
Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi turned to his bench after the interval, and substitute Wandile Duba made an immediate impact. The forward struck twice in the second half to restore Amakhosi's advantage before putting the result beyond doubt, securing a convincing 3-1 win and an ideal start to the new Betway Premiership campaign.
