Polokwane City relegated‚ Leopards in playoffs‚ Baroka escape by dashing Kaizer Chiefs' title hopes HadebeSazieso
Eva Nga’s 40th-minute goal and Cole Alexander’s 64th-minute strike were enough to sink Clint Larsen’s charges‚ leaving their Limpopo neighbours Black Leopards‚ who lost 3-0 to league champions Mamelodi Sundowns‚ as the Premiership team in the relegation/promotion playoffs.
Polokwane City will be gutted with their relegation so soon after their best finish of their seven-year stint in the top flight last season of fifth. Polokwane City went to this match with their future already hanging by the thinnest of threads as they needed to beat Wits 8-0‚ or perhaps by a lesser margin if Baroka FC were to lose by a hatful of goals to Kaizer Chiefs‚ to have any chance of overtaking Bakgaga in 15th spot.
Also confirmed on Saturday was Orlando Pirates finishing third and booking their spot in next season’s Caf Confederation Cup after Gabadinho Mhango’s fist half-goal gave the Buccaneers a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch FC at Ellis Park.
