Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star maintains red-hot form in Saudi

Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Ranga Chivaviro continued his red-hot goal scoring form as his team, Al-Adalah, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Al-Arabi in the Saudi second tier.

The 33-year-old centre-forward opened the scoring in the 59th minute, but the home side swiftly turned the game around with goals from Gatoch Panom and Fahad Al Johani.

Chivaviro's team dropped to the relegation zone following the defeat, having amassed 15 points in 21 league outings.

Meanwhile, the former Marumo Gallants talisman has now scored six goals and provided one assist in 16 matches across all competitions.

Notably, Chivaviro scored five of the goals in his last five appearances for the club - this after failing to score in his first nine matches.

The South African attacker signed for the Saudi First Division side in September 2025 after he was deemed surplus to requirements at Naturena.

He lifted the Nedbank Cup with Chiefs under the tutelage of Nasreddine Nabi last season - the club's first trophy in a decade.

Chivaviro will be looking to continue his rich vein of fine form when Al-Adalah square off against promotion-chasing Al-Orobah on Saturday, 14 February.
