Kaizer Chiefs struck in stoppage time to hand Maritzburg United a 3-2 defeat in their Absa Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.

The home side were off to the perfect start when Camaldine Abraw was tripped in the penalty area by Maritzburg goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede while trying to go around him one-on-one in the fourth minute. 

Willard Katsande stepped up and got enough power behind the penalty to beat Verbauwhede despite him getting a hand on it.

The Team of Choice created a few opportunities in a slow-tempo and rather dull first half but could not make the most of them, and Abraw added a second goal for Chiefs in the 37th minute with a solid header into the far corner from George Lebese’s left-wing cross.
