Musona shocks Ajax

Two goals in the last five minutes from Knowledge Musona delivered a dramatic last-gasp win for log leaders Kaizer Chiefs as they beat Ajax Cape Town 2-0 last night.

It means they now have a six-point lead over their closest challengers, Mamelodi Sundowns, with eight games left for both sides in the championship chase.

But Chiefs were on the brink of dropping vital points before Musona delivered two stunning finishes. His first was at the end of a storming and quick run, mixed with style as he juggled the ball past defenders, and finished with aplomb, in the 85th minute.

A strong header in the 90th minute made sure of the points.

Chiefs had the ball in the net in the 63rd minute, a spectacularbicycle kick from Kingston Nkhatha, but Mashamaite had handled the ball in the build-up.

Ajax had a golden chance with 14 minutes to go as Reyaad Pieterse spilled the ball that Eleazor Rodgers could have tucked away.

The draw leaves Wits in third spot on the log, 11 points off leaders Kaizer Chiefs, while AmaTuks move up one place to 10th.
