Kaizer Chiefs stretched their Betway Premiership winless run to three games following a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Richards Bay at a sold-out uMhlathuze Sports Complex on Tuesday night.

The Glamour Boys fell to a goal from Thulani Gumede in the 69th minute, in a match that saw the home team register more shots at goal and on target than the visitors.

Chiefs remain fifth on the log standings, having amassed 30 points in 18 league outings - and trail log leaders Orlando Pirates with a staggering 11 points.

Notably, the loss to the Natal RichBoyz comes on the back of a Soweto derby mauling against Pirates over the weekend, where they conceded three unanswered goals.

Prior to succumbing to a drubbing to their nemesis, Chiefs had lost to Stellenbosch in the league and Zamalek SC in the CAF Confederation Cup - meaning they are on a four-game losing streak in all competitions.

Now, co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef will prepare the team for a visit from Durban City at FNB Stadium on Sunday, 15 March, amid uncertainty over their long-term future at the club.
