Kaizer Chiefs crashed out of this season’s Nedbank Cup in spectacular fashion on Sunday, losing on penalties to minnows Milford FC.
The defeat ranks (high up) among the biggest ever upsets in South African football.
Despite being the tournament’s record winners with 13 titles, Kaizer Chiefs have also been sent packing on no fewer than SEVEN occasions by non-top flight teams.
According to OptaJabu, the seven sides listed below have all gotten the better of the Glamour Boys since 2009:
2009 – University of Pretoria
2010 – FC Cape Town
2011 – Baroka FC
2015 – Black Leopards
2019 – TS Galaxy
2021 – Richards Bay
2024 – Milford FC
Kaizer Chiefs last lifted the Nedbank Cup trophy in 2013 when they beat SuperSport United 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
Stuart Baxter was Amakhosi coach at the time and Bernard Parker scored the only goal of the match in extra-time.
As reported by The South African website, in addition to their early Nedbank Cup exit, Kaizer Chiefs have also been dumped out of the Carling Knockout Cup and the MTN8, leaving the DStv Premiership as their last chance of any silverware this season.
