Bernard Parker scored twice against SuperSport United in Atteridgeville on Sunday to power Kaizer Chiefs into the top five on the DStv Premiership standings and end the Tshwane side’s unbeaten run.
Man-of-the match Parker put Amakhosi ahead on the stroke of half time and while Njabulo Ngcobo’s own goal brought SuperSport level, the veteran former Bafana Bafana striker pounced again shortly after the restart to give Chiefs maximum points at Lucas Moripe Stadium in the nation's capital.
Chiefs started the match in ninth position and are now fifth on 12 points from eight matches, seven points behind leading champions Mamelodi Sundowns. It is also Chiefs' first win over SuperSport since December 2018 after Kaitano Tembo did the double over Gavin Hunt’s team last season. The formation worked in Chiefs' favour and allowed Dolly to penetrate through the middle, and it is no surprise that Parker's goals came from balls sent through the middle.
