Amakhosi end year in frustration after goalless draw
The Mercury

KAIZER
Chiefs will not only search for redemption but also for all-round team organisation when they start the second half of the season next year, following a disappointing end to the year.Chiefs were held to a 0-0 stalemate by TS Galaxy in the last game of the year ~ and in the Betway Premiership ~ as they finished fourth on the log with 24 points.
Given the fact that this was their fourth successive game without a win, and that they trail log leaders Orlando Pirates - who have a game in hand - by four points, this was certainly not the ideal end Chiefs wanted in 2025.
After ending last campaign with silverware, there was plenty of hope that Chiefs would turn around their fortunes this season, but that wasn’t to be. Chiefs ended the year empty-handed, with more confusion than progression.
They failed to beat Galaxy in the final match of the year - not only failing to give their fans the perfect Christmas and New Year's gift, but also showing that they are still behind arch-rivals Pirates, who ended the first half of the season top of the log with a cup double.
