SuperSport United's 1-0 victory has nullified Kaizer Chiefs chances to return on top of the Betway Premiership after being humiliated at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday at 18:00.
Amakhosi traveled to Limpopo province thinking that they would still have a walk in the park when they met Mantsantsata a Pitori in a league match as they did in the couple of days ago in a Carling Black Label Knockout Cup.
Last night win for Gavin Hunt's team has proven once again that SuperSport United is above Kaizer Chiefs when it comes to league matches and Mantsantsatsa a Pitori has won games than Amakhosi since 1996.
The match was delayed with 30 minutes as it started at 18:00 instead of 17:30 due to large number of supporters who were entering the stadium late.
Mantsantsatsa a Pitori's goal was scored on the 44th minute by Tashreeq Morris before the end of the first-half in a fierce battle with visitors.
During the second-half,both teams were attacking each other persistently until the last whistle and neither of them managed to score a goal,and that guaranteed a three points for the home team.
SuperSport United's goalkeeper Thakasani Mbanjwa was chosen as the Man of the Match after he blocked dozens of dangerous strikes which were shot to his territory by furious Kaizer Chiefs players.
After last night match,Amakhosi has suffered a second loss in four league matches,in the meantime Mantsantsatsa a Pitori has recorded a second win of the campaign.
