JOHANNESBURG – Ananias Gebhardt scored the only goal as Baroka FC beat Mamelodi Sundowns and hand the advantage in the title race back to Kaizer Chiefs, who also lost their game earlier on Saturday.Those who suffer from self-pity appear to explain their sentiments along those lines after failed gestures. And so, such has been Kaizer Chiefs’ downfall in recent weeks that they seemed to be headed for those heart-breaking words as well.
Sundowns remained second on the standings and level with Chiefs on 53 points but inferior on goal difference, while Baroka climbed to 13th spot on the log standings to get a breather from the relegation battle ahead of the penultimate round on Wednesday.Amakhosi were left crossing their fingers after their loss earlier and underwhelming round of form.
And such has been their underwhelming stint in those matches that an outside observer questioned the team’s mentality during crunch time. Coach Ernst Middendorp, who added more grey hair after his team failed to score against the Clever Boys despite creating the most chances, has always been modest in his approach, saying the title race will be decided in the last two matches of the season.
