The Premier Soccer League has announced that Absa Premiership log- leaders Kaizer Chiefs have won the second quarter of the 2019-20 Q-innovation.
This is second successive Q-Innovation victory for Amakhosi in the 2019-20 season. The Glamour Boys won quarter two with 16 points from seven fixtures.
On the previous weekend, Bidvest Wits were the only side that stood a realistic chance of upsetting Kaizer Chiefs’ party, but their 0-2 loss to Cape Town City on Saturday night ended their Q2 aspirations and paved a way for Kaizer Chiefs to claim top prize.
Before this season kicked off in August 2019, Kaizer Chiefs had not won a quarter since the 2014-15 season – which happened to be the last time Amakhosi claimed the Absa Premiership title.
Each side that wins a quarter gets R1,5 million in prize money. Quarter one (eight fixtures), quarter two (seven fixtures), quarter three (eight fixtures), quarter four (seven fixtures).
The PSL congratulated Kaizer Chiefs for winning the second quarter.
Mamelodi Sundowns finished second on the Absa Premiership quarter two log standings with 14 points from seven fixtures.
Bidvest Wits, who came in third, also had 14 points – but scored fewer goals than Mamelodi Sundowns.
Chippa United, who have been rejuvenated under Zimbabwean coach Norman Mapeza, were fourth with 13 points.
