Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe has heaped praise on attacker Owsin Appollis following his Man of the Match performance against Kaizer Chiefs.

Rise and Shine returned to winning ways in the Betway Premiership after they secured a 2-0 win over Amakhosi through goals from Appollis and Mokibelo Ramabu.

Polowane are now placed in the third position on the table with 17 points after 10 games, while Amakhosi remain in ninth place with 11 points from eight matches.

Mohafe was happy with his sides overall performance to not concede and walk away with all three points after a hard-fought battle against the Soweto giant.

“With Nkwe it has been coming, because almost every match it’s either between him and [Thabang] Matuludi, between him and [Bulelani] Nikani, between him and [Lebohang] Nkaki, so for him today it’s good that he came out tops,” Mohafe told SuperSport TV after the game.

“The boy is working hard, so polite, so humble. The shift he put today, with Chiefs overloading on his side, I think he did well, because at some point there were three players on his side.

“We wanted to cheat with Appollis and we did well in those circumstances.

“The situation allowed him to be Man of the Match and we’re thankful of him today.”
