The last few days have been hell for those who pledge allegiance to the Kaizer Chiefs flag and Sunday's away league outing against Limpopo strugglers Marumo Gallants could not come fast enough for some of them.
Chiefs suffered the ignominy of a humiliating 4-1 defeat to newcomers Royal AM a week ago and a match against the premiership's basement side would have been welcomed as an opportunity for some redemption for coach Stuart Baxter's once Mighty AmaKhosi.
Chiefs boss Bobby Motaung will be cursing the soccer Gods as the visitors could have undeservedly won the match right at the death when Khama Billiat delivered a free kick into the area in the 88th minute that seemed to be on course to becoming the decisive kick of the match. Chiefs moved moved to 13th place on the standings after the result while Gallants finally got off the foot the table to rise to 15th place, with TS Galaxy taking their place in the basement.
Gallant had the best chance of the opening period when Katlego Otladisa connected beautifully with a cross into the area and headed what he thought was the opening goal of the match.
