Kaizer Chiefs defender Aden McCarthy has expressed his delight after entering the club’s history books following his goal against Lamontville Golden Arrows on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 22-year-old’s 39th-minute goal propelled Amakhosi to a 1-0 victory over Abafana Bes’thende at the FNB Stadium as the Soweto giants resumed their 2025\/26 Betway Premiership campaign with a victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aden’s first senior goal for the club saw him become the second member of his family to score in a league game for Amakhosi, joining his father, Fabian McCarthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, they become the first father and son duo to score for Chiefs against the same opponents in the PSL era. McCarthy senior scored for Amakhosi in a 3-1 away win over Abafana Bes\u2019thende at Kings Park in Durban on 14 September 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s quite interesting. I was two years old when my dad scored against Arrows in 2005, and knowing that I emulated him makes it historic. I was not aware that he had done that and I was not expecting that I would do the same,” Aden told Chiefs media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is amazing that my first goal happened against a team that my father also scored against, as it was my first goal for the Club and will be one for the history books, one to remember.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aden also shared the special message he received from his father, revealing, \u201cIt is also ironic that before the game, my dad sent a message and said I should get on the scoresheet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aden and his Chiefs teammates will be in action this weekend as Amakhosi take on Zambian giants ZESCO United in the CAF Confederation Cup match in Ndola on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
