Galloping Kaizer Chiefs continued their impressive league-run by thumping Chippa United 2-0 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth (PE) Wednesday night, Nov. 6, 2019.
Meanwhile, the hapless Chilli Boys‘ winless streak carries on unabated. They guard the base of the Absa Premiership league table with toothpick lean four (4) points after 12 games. Norman Mapeza, the recently appointed head coach at Chippa knows pretty well that the hot seat he currently occupies is pressure-some affair. Will he survive another match at the prone to fire coaches club?
The Amakhosi win – thanks to a Zuma brace [67′, 90+2′] – propel them to a 7-point lead at the summit of the 2019/20 Absa Premiership league table.
OTHER ABSA PREMIERSHIP RESULTS:
Baroka FC 0-0 Mamelodi Sundowns
Second-place Sundowns dropped potential two points after a goalless draw away to the lowly-rated Baroka FC at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane last night.
Although Masandawana are one game behind, the 0-0 stalemate is a blow to their chances of defending the league championship. They are precariously sat on 18 points currently. Walking away with a point from a team with a galaxy of stars will probably be not a suffocating embrace for Baroka FC.
Amazulu FC 2-0 Stellenbosch FC
At the Prince Magogo Stadium Amazulu brushed aside Stellenbosch 2-0 in the evening league fixture.
The prolific Bongi Ntuli’s brace [14′, 90+2′] was sufficient to keep Stellies at bay. Usuthu‘ cruise to home victory is a big boost to their league campaign. They have leaped two (2) spots from position 15 before last night’s match to 12th on the log after 10 games.
Ntuli is the joint leading-goal scorer in the league with seven (7) on the trot alongside Peter Shalulile of Polokwane City and Kermit Erasmus of Cape Town City FC.
Cape Town City FC 5-3 Polokwane City CT
In a nearly lights off battle at Cape Town Stadium adorned with a flurry of goals, The Citizens dimmed the elumination of their visitors Rise And Shine [Polokwane City] by 5-3 on Wednesday night.
CT City’s commanding five (5) goals were scored by Kermit Erasmus [6′, 45+2′], Sphelele Mthembu [12′], Mpho Makola [71′] and Edmilson Dove [74′].
It could have been a one-sided tussle if it was not Charlton Mashumba’s hat-trick [22′, 87′, 90+4′] which partially restored Polokwane City’s “shine”. However, it was too little too late to eke out something tangible out of the fierce league contest.
