Kaizer Chiefs teenager, Siyabonga Ngezana, became the second teenager
to score on his debut for the club this season as he helped the side
grab a big win over Mamelodi Sundowns.

Ngezana, who turns 20 next month, was handed his first professional
start by Steve Komphela on Tuesday night, raising a few eyebrows as the
teenager was thrown into the deep end against the reigning champions of
Africa.
However, the central defender hit the ground running in Tshwane,
capping his Amakhosi debut with the opening goal as Chiefs beat
Masandawana 2-1, following in the footsteps of Wiseman Meyiwa, a
teenager who also scored on his debut earlier this season.
Ngezana was called upon as Komphela looked to deal with the absence of
the likes of Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Tsepo Masilela, Lorenzo Gordinho and
Teenage Hadebe, and despite having only played in the Multichoice Diski
Challenge prior to this, the teenager didn’t look out of place.
The 19-year-old showcased his goalscoring prowess in the Macufe Cup
earlier this month, however up until last night he had only made the
matchday squad for a senior game on one occasion.
Now, with Chiefs preparing for this weekend’s clash with Orlando
Pirates in the Soweto Derby, Komphela is faced with a decision as to
whether to change things around or keep the same XI that got an
excellent win over Sundowns.
