Top African Shock Losses

Kaizer Chiefs missed out on the MTN8 and then headed into tough preseason matches in the Netherlands and Ghana. The squad’s new signings haven’t clicked yet, leaving fans uneasy about their CAF Confederation Cup chances. In South Africa’s Premier Division, Brighton stunned Liverpool 3‑2 – a result that sent shockwaves through the league and gave African teams hope they can pull off similar upsets.

Another big story came from Kenya, where land disputes turned violent and threatened security in Upper and Lower Eastern regions. While not a football match, the unrest affected local clubs’ training schedules, showing how off‑field issues can turn into on‑field defeats.

Surprise Wins Around the World

Across Europe, Crystal Palace knocked Manchester United out of the Premier League with a 2‑0 win at Old Trafford. Jean‑Philippe Mateta’s two second‑half goals were pure class and reminded everyone that even giants can be humbled.

In Italy, Napoli held Bologna to a 1‑1 draw thanks to a backheel goal from Dan Ndoye. That point kept Napoli three points behind leaders Inter Milan, proving every match counts in a tight title race.

The Asian scene wasn’t quiet either – Paris Saint‑Germain faced a potential record threat as Ousmane Dembélé chased Kylian Mbappé’s Champions League goal tally. A loss or draw could cost PSG the semi‑final spot, turning a personal triumph into a team defeat.
