Supersport outclass Baroka 2-0 in Absa Premiership

SuperSport United continued their fine league run as they beat Baroka FC 2-0 in a Premiership match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Wednesday evening.

In the 53rd minute, Bradley Grobler pounced on a loose ball to score the first goal of the match.

The visitors doubled their lead in the 91st minute through a powerful strike by midfielder Jamie Webber.

SuperSport should have been a good few goals up at halftime with all of Evans Rusike, Kagiso Selemela and Thamsanqa Gabuza were guilty of poor finishing.

Baroka’s best scoring chance came in the 22nd minute when SuperSport No 1 Ronwen Williams pulled off a superb save to deny Gerald Phiri Jnr from scoring.

The league win for SuperSport follows their win over Orlando Pirates and draw with Kaizer Chiefs. They now have seven points from four matches.

Next up for SuperSport is an MTN 8 semifinal first-leg clash against Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria on Sunday.

Following that, SuperSport will take on Cape Town City in a league encounter in the Mother City on September 14 before facing Sundowns in the cup semifinal second-leg four days later.

Baroka, remain on five points from four matches with their next league fixture set to be an away trip to the Limpopo to take on Black Leopards on September 15.
