Tshabalala stars as Kaizer Chiefs seal title

FIFA World Cup™ star Siphiwe Tshabalala created three goals as Kaizer Chiefs trounced Polokwane City 4-1 Wednesday to clinch the 2015 South African Premiership title.

The triumph at a chilly Soccer City stadium in Soweto gave the Amakhosi (Chiefs) an unassailable 15-point advantage over second-place Mamelodi Sundowns. While Chiefs were scoring four goals in a league game for the first time this season, Sundowns could only draw 1-1 at home against lower-half Platinum Stars in Pretoria.

Zimbabwean Mathew Rusike bagged a second-half brace for Chiefs after George Lebese and Bernard Parker goals had given the home side a 2-0 half-time advantage. Post-match celebrations among the new champions were partly spoilt by spectators invading the pitch, although no injuries were reported.


Fish-and-chips chain owner Tshabalala scored a memorable opening goal of the 2010 World Cup as hosts South Africa drew with Mexico, unleashing an unstoppable shot after a sprint to the box. But against defensively brittle Polokwane, the slightly built, dreadlocked veteran winger turned provider for the second, third and fourth goals.

Two of his assists came from perfectly flighted free-kicks and the other from a cut-back, which Rusike slammed into the net on 55 minutes for a match-clinching three-goal advantage.

Chiefs, who host Wits and visit Chippa United after Sundowns, need three more points and two more victories to create Premiership season records. Apart from a ten million rand cheque, Chiefs qualify for the 2016 CAF Champions League, a competition in which they have consistently failed to excel.
