Orlando Pirates loanee Boitumelo Radiopane found the back of the net again to prove the match-winner for Cape Town Spurs as the race for promotion to the DStv Premiership intensifies.
The Urban Warriors defeated Baroka 3-2 on Tuesday afternoon courtesy of an impressive Therlo Moosa brace and a third from the Orlando Pirates striker.
The strike was a fifth league goal for 'Radioman', who joined the Cape Town-based outfit at the start of season after a sensational season with Pirates' DDC team, that saw him awarded both the competitions' Leading Goal Scorer and the Player of the Season awards.
Spurs' win against Baroka was a fifth win in five league matches and has ignited the title race that initially appeared to be a two-horse race between Casric Stars and Polokwane City.

Spurs are now a point ahead of City and three points ahead of third-placed Casric, with the latter duo set to face off next in a crucial league clash on Tuesday at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Meanwhile, Radiopane and fellow teammates Ashley Cupido, Khaya Mfecane, Wayne Dortley and Lincon Vyver have been selected for the South Africa Under-23 squad for upcoming CAF U23 Olympic qualifiers against Congo, to be played later this month.
The 20-year-old is expected to return to the Buccaneers at the end of the season, with Bucs head coach Riveiro indicating that the forward remains highly rated by the Soweto outfit.
"Hopefully, in fact, I’m pretty sure that Radiopane will manage to achieve the standard that is needed to play for Pirates and hopefully, this period at CT Spurs is going to complement his development," Riveiro said in January.
