The other biggest winners in relegation battle-laced matches were Chippa United whose 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in Port Elizabeth.
Courtesy of their superior goal difference to relegated Free State Stars , the Team of Choice will now fight for their place in the Premier Soccer League in a play-off against Royal Eagles and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, who respectively finished second and third in National First Division log last weekend.
The other teams that avoided the axe on the last day were Black Leopards who had to thank Isaac Masia’s 77th minute header which gave them 1-0 victory over Cape Town City in Thohoyandou to finish on 13th position. The Team of Choice began Saturday’s match still sitting at the bottom of the Absa Premiership table but their draw moved them to 15th position, enough to fight for their lives in the play-offs.
Baroka, though, sitting on top of the five struggler's log with 28 points, had looked terrible in their 3-1 defeat away to Bidvest Wits last weekend.
