Kaizer Chiefs are still top of the South African Premiership, despite surrendering their unbeaten record to Polokwane City last weekend.
Jabulani Maluleke scored the only goal in that win. As one of the most polished midfielders in the league despite being 37 years old, he coolly converted a 16th-minute penalty to settle the fifth-round match.
Mwenya Chibwe made a string of superb saves as Polokwane soaked up second half pressure to reach 10 points and trail Chiefs only on goals scored.
Chiefs have failed to win a trophy in four seasons, leading to several coaching changes with German Ernst Middendorp, who has lived in South Africa for many years, the latest incumbent.
“We did not play our natural game,” lamented Middendorp. “Pumping long balls into the penalty area is not our style.
“My team lacked calmness and composure and panicked at times. Falling behind against an organised side like City was fatal as they put eight to nine men behind the ball.”
Saturday’s round of matches kick off with PSL newcomers Stellenbosch FC, still searching for their first win of the season, hosting Black Leopards – a team who is in a backroom disarray after firing their coach earlier in the week.
The other two 15:00 kick offs sees Bloemfontein Celtic travel to Chippa United while the PSL’s surprise package – Rise and Shine host Super Sport United.
Mamelodi Sundowns, wounded from a defeat in the MTN8 midweek host Maritzburg United in the 18:00 fixture.
It’s then over to Wits and Pirates to wrap up Saturday’s action.
On Sunday, Cape Town City host Golden Arrows while Highlands Park, another team who has parted ways with their coach, travel to Baroka FC.
