Following the 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates on Saturday afternoon, retired Kaizer Chiefs star Patrick Mayo has hailed the Soweto giants for their gallant fight, saying goalkeeper Danie Akpeyi has silenced his critics.
Coach Ernst Middendorp’s men were looking to stretch their lead at the top of the table and now lead the second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns by seven points, albeit having played a game more.
Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer also suffered his first defeat in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) since taking over at the Houghton-based club as they remain third on the table.
