Johannesburg-Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter could not help but show a disappoint face after his team was derailed in their attempt to narrow the gap between them and log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Chiefs played to a draw in their a ‘must win’ game against relegation-bound Free State Stars. All look well after former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela headed home a rebound and put Chiefs in a pole position.
Stars Thabo Moloi’ s goal came in handy only seven minutes remaining. Chiefs is now sitting on 57 points while log leaders Sundowns have 61 points and have their one hand on the trophy.
Sundowns need to win their game against Supersport on Tuesday to put the tittle beyond defending Champions reach.
“If Mamelodi Sundowns will not win the trophy that will be disaster. We lost the game that we were suppose to win at all cost” Baxter said.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane said last week that he would like to wait and see how things sum up. He said someone will cry at the end of the season and evidently it seems surely is not the one to shed tears.-TDN
