Chippa United’s five-match unbeaten run came to a halt following Saturday’s Premier Soccer League (PSL) 2-0 defeat by Polokwane City at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Second-half goals from Salulani Phiri and substitute Charlton Mashumba helped Polokwane end their nine-match league losing streak as they upstaged 10-man Chippa United who had last lost a league match in early November.
Boikanyo Komane was red-carded, leaving Chippa to play the final 37 minutes with a numerical disadvantage. The hosts scored both their goals after the defender’s dismissal.
