Wits University rattled the net twice in each half against the Black Leopards on Wednesday night at the Milpark Stadium in Johannesburg.
Wits led 2-1 at half-time.
Gert Schalkwyk and Charles Yohane did the damage in the 13th and 29th minutes while Gilbert Mushangazhike scored the consolation goal for the Limpopo-based club in the 38th minute.
But coach Ephraim ”Shakes” Mashaba’s joy was short-lived when Stewart Murisa headed home in the 85th minute to put Wits further ahead. Yohane was back in the thick of things when he scored his second — the fourth goal — from a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
Leopards goalkeeper Walter Khumalo fouled Coxwell Ratshivhadelo inside the box and a penalty was awarded. Yohane sent Khumalo in the opposite direction much to the jubilation of the Wits supporters.
Wits deserved to win. They were the better side technically but the margin did not reflect the complexion of the game. – Sapa
