Premiership round-up: All the action from this week's League matches!

Posted: 27 September 2012 Time: 08:29 am

Kaizer Chiefs go top with a win over Bidvest Wits, Orlando Pirates see Ajax Cape Town off with some classy goals, and AmaZulu and Chippa United get their first wins.

Kaizer Chiefs went five points clear at the top of the table with a  3-1 win over Bidvest Wits at Mbombela Stadium on Monday evening.

Bernard Parker bundled the ball in at the far post inside 15 minutes, following some good work from George Lebese on the left, and added a second just past the half-hour mark.

Wits were eventually rewarded for their positive play 10 minutes from time when Calvin Kadi came flying in to volley home from a brilliant cross by Asive Langwe.

But Amakhosi put the result beyond doubt in the 89th minute, when Reneilwe Letsholonyane played a perfect ball to Lehlohonolo Majoro on the right, who calmly slotted past Steven Hoffman.

 

Platinum Stars ended their run of three straight League defeats when they held University of Pretoria to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday night.

Both sides had a number of chances, especially Siphelele Mthembu for Dikwena and Mame Niang for Tuks, but neither could convert.

 

Black Leopards and Maritzburg United played to an entertaining 2-2 draw at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Leopards opened the scoring through Rodney Ramagalela, but Ruben Cloete and Cuthbert Malajila put the Team of Choice on course for an away win.

However, a late goal from Raymond Monama handed Lidoda Duvha a share of the spoils.

 

Ajax Cape Town, who had not beaten Orlando Pirates away since 2008, lost again on Tuesday evening, as Bucs went second with classy goals from Sifiso Myeni and Takesure Chinyama.

Roger de Sa baffled supporters when he started with Thulasizwe Mbuyane up front, supported by three wingers in Myeni, Daine Klate and Tlou Segolela. But while Segolela was off form, Myeni – playing through the middle – and Klate both fired.

Myeni scored in the 55th minute with an excellent strike after a great piece of individual skill.

Chinyama came on as a second-half substitute and was immediately booed by sections of the crowd, but the big Zimbabwean quickly shut the fans up when he turned sharply and powered in a left footed drive in the dying seconds of the game.

 

Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw at the Lucas Moripe Stadium yesterday in what has been described as the most boring game of the season.

Nyasha Mushekwi, Eleazar Rodgers and Edward Manqele all returned from injury for Sundowns, but despite a number of chances could not put them ahead.

 

Free State Stars and Golden Arrows played to a 1-1 draw at Charles Mopeli Stadium.

A first-half strike from Norman Smith put the visitors ahead, before Dove Wome got a late equaliser.

 

AmaZulu got their first win of the season – and scored their first goals – as they came from behind to beat Moroka Swallows 2-1.

Just after the half-hour mark the Dube Birds punished the hosts for a lapse in concentration and David Mathebula placed a low shot past Philani Zikalala.

Marc van Heerden tested Greg Etafia in the 74th and the experienced goalkeeper was unable to keep the ball in his gloves, allowing Ayanda Dlamini to bury his follow-up shot.

It looked like the two sides would be sharing the points, but Thokozani Mshengu beat Etafia with a left-footed curler at the death to hand Usuthu the win.

 

Chippa United fought hard against Bloemfontein Celtic for their first win in the Premiership

The Chilli Boys emerged 2-1 victors at Athlone Stadium.

Chippa took the lead in the 30th minute, when Cole Alexander's 45-metre cross was flicked on and into the back of the net by Petrus Ngebo.

They doubled their lead nine minutes after the restart when Diego Brown went on a solo run which ended in a sublime finish, leaving Patrick Tignyemb helpless.

Celtic kept on coming and were rewarded for their efforts when Lennox Bacela drew Maxwell Khubeka into a foul in the box. Bacela converted the penalty, but despite some intense pressure in the final minutes Chippa held on for the win.

Some simple but amazing work from Actuarial Sciences students @ University of Pretoria

Chiefs wallop Usuthu 6-0
Swallows sodomizes Gorillas 3-0
Usuthu beats Swallows 2-1

Chiefs Results against Swallows & Pirates = (6 + 3 + 2 -1) / 2
=10/2
= 5

What this means is that between Swallows & Pirates fixtures Kaizer Chiefs will amass a total of 10 goals. A this point Orlando Pirates is a weakest link between those two meaning the ration of those goals might be 6:4. Meaning Kaizer Chiefs (6)- Orlando Pirates (0).....then Kaizer Chiefs (4) - Swallows (0).

NB: Dear OP sappota please do not try to crack your head by applying BODMAS rule to this equation , just look at the final result and use you fingers to count. Yes even Gorillas have 10 fingers so start counting.

Jennifer Malec is obviously still impressed with goals from Pirates. She can't stop calling them CLASSY. I'm not surprised because these are the goals that will contend for goal of the season. About Parcow's goals she said, “he BUNDLED it into the net” kwaaaa hahaha lol.

I heard the security at Woolworths is beefed up. Thank goodness for that. Now Pirates and Woolworths can reclaim those stolen panties. The Hawks told Bobby-jan, “don't drop the soap”
