Kaizer Chiefs Player Ratings: Dove and Bimenyimana show their class against Stellenbosch FC

A spectator in the opening exchanges as Amakhosi enjoyed a strong start to the game.

However, there was nothing he could do to stop Mgaga's strike after a mistake by Njabulo Blom. He was substituted in the 38th minute due to an injury.

A threat to the Stellies defence.

Frosler ventured up and down the wing and created several opportunities with his decent delivery from the right. He also had a shot saved by goalkeeper Sage Stephens.

Solid defensively.

Tasked with marking Stellies' dangerman Junior Mendieta and he did the job. However, he didn't offer much going forward.

Played well after being handed a rare start.

Ngezana's pace proved to be vital for the hosts as he made some good covering runs. He also made several vital clearances and interceptions. 

Influential both defensively and offensively.

Dove positioned himself well and used his physicality to his advantage as he dominated in defence. He also caught the eye with his passing ability as he started some of Chiefs' attacks.

Named Man of the Match.

Recovered well after his mistake.

Blom gave away possession and he was punished by Mgaga. He then produced a good performance in the middle of the park - winning back possession and playing some accurate passes. 

Put in a commanding display.

Maart carried Chiefs forward as he made forward runs with his sublime passes - linking the midfield with the attack. He was substituted with 12 minutes left on the clock.

Put in a good, energetic performance. 

Dolly was a thorn in Stellenbosch's flesh, with his pace, vision and link-up plays. However, he looked tired when he was substituted towards the end of the game. 

Missed another sitter.

Du Preez, who has been criticized for missing easy chances, got himself in good positions, but he couldn't score including when he had only Stephens to beat.

Decent display.

Sekgota drove at defenders in a bid to unsettle Stellies' backline and he did that. He was unlucky not to score when Stephens came out to block his shot from close range.

Best performance in Chiefs colours.

Bimenyimana's displayed his brilliant movement which created problems for the Stellies defence with Mogamad De Goede fouling him twice and Chiefs got two penalties. 

He showed off his great ability from the penalty spot as he became the first player to score a hat-trick of penalties.

Replaced Khune and he had several quiet periods, but was certainly up to the mark whenever required. 

Petersen also did a great job of managing Stellies' attacks from either wing knowing when to come out for crosses. 

Put in a decent shift when he came in the 59th minute as he combined well with his teammates in midfield and also tracked back to help his teammates defend.

Also came on in the 78th minute and his direct approach in the final third inspired Chiefs to attack more, but chances didn't fall for him in Stellies' box.

A welcome change in place of Maart when he came on in the 78th minute, Zwane added a bit more steel to the midfield with his ball-winning ability.

Orlando Pirates legend Eugune Zwane's son made his professional debut for Amakhosi.
