Fans react to Chiefs vs Sundowns
Mamelodi Sundowns have secured a seventh successive DStv Premiership title after they thumped 10-man Kaizer Chiefs 5-1, securing the league with six games to go.
It's Masandawana's 17th league crown overall and the Tshwane giants will be looking to end the season unbeaten in the Premiership.
Disaster struck the Soweto giants 19 minutes into the match when defender Given Msimango brought down Lucas Ribeiro on a counter attack and was shown a straight red card, for denying what the referee deemed as a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
The Brazilians weren't keen to delay their celebrations and keep the champagne on ice with a second-half blitz, with goals coming from Matias Esquivel, Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Thembinkosi Lorch and a brace from Man of the Match, Tashreeq Matthews.
Although Mduduzi Shabalala offered the Glamour Boys a mere consolation from the penalty spot, it was a crushing defeat that summed up a disappointing campaign for Amakhosi.
As expected, the Khosi Nation expressed their disappointment online, while a number of Downs supporters made sure to rub in ther result.

I'm a Kaizer Chiefs supporter, and I'm this shameless. I wore my Chiefs replica to work and I'm laughing at Kaizer Chiefs while wearing their colours. When we say Chiefs supporters we're shameless, we are shameless like that. You can't break us, we've accepted our situation... pic.twitter.com/rJd1THD65u

The standard is on the floor at Kaizer Chiefs when it comes to Kaizer Chiefs. That’s why the management panics when they have to make the right appointment.

We held this club to a draw with a man down and they had one shot on target.
There’s so much of a vast difference between Pirates and Chiefs. Don’t get it twisted ??????.#DStvPrem

The escalation of Kaizer Chiefs problems started on 01 July 2021. For the 9 seasons of trophy drought, he is responsible for 3. A tenure characterised by favouritism, underhandedness, illusion of knowledge, divisions that extended to the fan base & entrenchment of mediocrity. https://t.co/uHINpxWL2Z

We are living in an alternate universe. If you had told 12 year old me that in 2024 Mamelodi Sundowns will beat Kaizer Chiefs 5-1, win the league with six games to go, 7 times in a row; I would have told you to stop sniffing benzene.

Kaizer Chiefs is a joke, an embarrassment and a disgrace, not only to its supporters but to the whole football lovers.
