Chiefs surge forward as rivals falter :: Mmegi Online

Mochudi Centre Chiefs cranked up the pressure on their pursuers as they maintained their nine-point cushion at the top, which should be sufficient to guarantee a second Premier League title in four seasons.

The Kgatleng boys have watched as their distant rivals try in vain to cling to their coat tails with the home stretch in sight.

Rollers suffered a shock 2-0 loss away to Nico United, which all but extinguishes their interest in the chase. The defending champions have been far from their fluent best and the third loss of the season saw them slip to third position.In an evenly contested affair, Nico sprang into life in the dying minutes of the game with two quick goals from regular gunslingers, Master Masitara and Bernard Semakwezi.
