Yusuf Maart was named man of the match after his two assists helped Kaizer Chiefs beat Richards Bay in Polokwane on Wednesday evening.

Kaizer Chiefs technical team has given the majority of their fringe players a chance to prove themselves against Richards Bay FC.

Kaizer Chiefs move up on the Betway Premiership table as they secured all three points against Richards Bay FC at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Instead, Brandon Truter’s Richards Bay continued to look utterly listless, and a fine goal from Ashley Du Preez effectively killed off the away side. If this form continues, Truter may also find his job is dead in the water. A stoppage time header from Yanele Mbuthuma gave Chiefs some nervy final minutes, but they hung on for the three points.

Goals in either half by Wandile Duba (21st minute) and Ashley du Preez (68th) ensured Chiefs avoid a second successive home defeat after their 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in September, before the Fifa and Carling Knockout final break.
