Moshoeu has helped Chiefs to their first title in twelve years
|
Kaizer Chiefs celebrated their first league title in 12 years
after securing the points they needed at rivals Moroka Swallows
in Johannesburg on Saturday.
Chiefs' 2-0 win gave them an unassailable lead with one match left in the season, turning the spotlight to the chase for second place, which also guarantees a berth in next year's African Champions League.
Three clubs are still in with a chance but if Wits University and Santos draw their match on Wednesday, Ajax Cape Town will be almost certain of finishing runners-up.
The relegation issue has yet to be settled with two of
Dynamos, Hellenic or Zulu Royals to go down at the weekend.
Nigeria
The Nigerian championship has just entered its second stage
|
Leaders Dolphins FC were held to a 1-1 draw at home on
Sunday by Gabros International but still have an eight-point
lead.
However, Dolphins have played two matches more than second-placed Iwuanyanwu Nationale, who drew 0-0 at relegation-threatened Plateau United on Saturday.
The league resumed with a full programme of fixtures both in
midweek and at the weekend after a two-week break at the halfway
point of the season.
Kano Pillars are third in the league after a 1-1 draw at El
Kanemi Warriors, while Insurance moved into fourth place
after a 1-0 home win over Niger Tornadoes on Saturday.
Zambia
Chalwe scored both goals for Red Arrows
|
Songwe Chalwe scored both goals as Red Arrows inflicted a
2-0 defeat on leaders National Assembly in Lusaka
on Sunday.
National Assembly, who have now lost twice in a row, still
have a four-point lead at the top of the standings after nine
matches.
But they have also played two matches more than
second-placed Power Dynamos, who remain the only unbeaten side
in the league after a 0-0 draw with Kabwe Warriors on Sunday.
Young Arrows are third despite losing 1-0 to Nkwazi.
Zimbabwe
Caps United fans are pleased with their team's form
|
Caps United stretched their winning run with a ninth
successive victory in the premier league, beating second placed
Railstars 2-1 in Harare on Sunday.
First half goals from Walter Chuma and an Artwell Mabhiza
penalty ensured the win for Caps in a match which started 35
minutes late because one of the designated linesmen failed to
turn up.
They now have a seven-point lead over Bulawayo-based
Highlanders, who moved into second place by beating Harare
glamour side Dynamos for the first time in four years on Sunday.
