Posted: 30 January 2016 Time: 15:21
Goals from Esau Kanyenda and Sipho Jembula gave Polokwane City the full three points as they defeated Jomo Cosmos 2-1 at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Brice Aka netted the consolation for Ezenkosi as they remain rooted near the bottom of the log standings.
The Citizens were out to redeem themselves and managed to grab a lead as early as the first minute when former Ezenkosi forward Kanyenda netted.
In the sixth minute, Thobani Mncwango tried to put his name on the score-sheet but his shot went wide to the left of Sherwyn Naicker’s posts.
Cosmos pushed forward in search of an equaliser and almost got it just before the break, but Mashumba’s shot went wide.
Mashumba forced another save from George Chigova, before Ezenkosi got the equaliser from the spot. Carlington Nyadombo fouled Aka, who converted with style.
Mncwango hit the bar shorthly afterwards, before Jembula got the winner with 10 minutes to go.
