Amakhosi’s slip-up allowed the Brazilians to reduce the gap at the top of the table
Twitter was the usual abuzz on Saturday as the Premier Soccer League action returned, featuring title hopefuls Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.
In Saturday’s earlier kick-off, Sundowns overcame Chippa United, 3-0, to return to the second spot, piling the pressure on Amakhosi who were scheduled to host Maritzburg United in a late afternoon kick-off.
The log leaders, however, failed to extend their lead at the summit of the table as they unexpectedly fell to a 2-1 defeat at home.
With Downs winning, and Chiefs losing, Twitter exploded after the matches of the country’s two top sides.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:

. @MaritzburgUtd beat Chiefs away from home for the first time since 2012 and set up an intriguing next couple of weeks in the title race.

Kaizer Chiefs still have to play Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits again. No one knows where the league title is going, you might think you do but you really don’t.
