Wandile Duba scored all three goals in Kaizer Chiefs’ 3-0 win over TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup round of 16. The 22-year-old striker becomes the first Amakhosi player to score a hat-trick in the competition.
Wandile Duba delivered a hat-trick and a piece of Kaizer Chiefs history. The 22-year-old striker, a club academy product, scored all three goals in the Amakhosi’s 3-0 win over TS Galaxy, iDiski Times reports. It was a night that writes the Mkhondo-born forward’s name into the club’s record books.
Because this hat-trick is no ordinary feat: Duba becomes the first Chiefs player to score a hat-trick in the Carling Knockout Cup. He is also the club’s first player to score three times in a match in almost six years.
A mark in the club’s record books
Duba is the 24th Kaizer Chiefs player to score three goals in a match since 1996/97, and the 19th of the PSL era, according to iDiski Times.
The last Chiefs player to score three times before him was Caleb-Bonfils Bimenyimana, the former striker who scored a hat-trick of penalties in a 3-1 win over Stellenbosch almost six years ago. The club record remains held by the late Patrick “Ace” Ntsoelengoe, with 14 hat-tricks in all competitions, iDiski Times notes.
Top scorer at 22
With his three goals against TS Galaxy, the club-trained striker takes his tally to 6 goals in 7 appearances this season, in all competitions. That makes him the Chiefs’ top scorer, according to iDiski Times.
Siwelele lying in wait
The win over TS Galaxy sends Kaizer Chiefs into the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals. Their next opponents in the competition will be Siwelele FC, on 7 and 8 November 2026, iDiski Times reports.
The Soweto derby against Orlando Pirates is scheduled for 31 October 2026, before the quarter-final against Siwelele.
