Considering the concerns that Kaizer Chiefs have had to assuage ahead of the 2019-20 PSL season, back-to-back victories in their opening matches represents a fine return for Ernst Middendorp’s side.
Fallen heavyweights after last season’s ninth-placed finish, Chiefs made it two wins out of two—and took their tally for the campaign to six points—after defeating Black Leopards 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.
Eric Mathoho was the hero, meeting a fine George Maluleke corner in the 12th minute to head beyond keeper Jonas Mendes—stranded after being deceived by the delivery—and give Chiefs a lead that they retained until the conclusion.
