In the duel between two German coaches, Ernst Middendorp and the Kaizer Chiefs narrowly held the upper hand against Josef Zinnbauer’s Orlando Pirates on Saturday – and thus ended the remarkable run for the team from Johannesburg. The Kaizer Chiefs won 1-0 against the Orlando Pirates, the only goal in this game was scored by Lebogang Manyama after half an hour of play. With 48 points, the Chiefs are in first place and are now nine points ahead of the second Orlando. Master Mamelodi Sundowns has two games in hand and can still get close to the Chiefs.
