Stellenbosch FC defeated battling Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in the DStv Premiership at FNB Stadium on Tuesday night, with winger Devin Titus scoring the winning goal.
Titus, Stellies‘ 2020-21 DStv Diski Challenge Player of the Season and a South Africa Under-23 international, latched onto a pass up the right channel into the box from right-back Deano van Rooyen and finished on the volley past goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma with a minute remaining in the first half.
The result entrenched Stellies, who enjoyed a vintage season under coach Steve Barker and lifted the
Carling Knockout trophy in December, placing second in the league.
The high-flying Cape side has 38 points from 21 games, four more than third-placed Sekhukhune United, who has 34 points from 21 games after drawing 2-2 with Cape Town City at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Chiefs remained in seventh place, with 30 points from 22 games.
Amakhosi, led by interim coach Cavin Johnson, have won one league game in the last seven, drawn three, and lost two.
