A rehabilitated Kaizer Chiefs midfield sensation Jabu Pule, created two goals for his team which cruised to a comfortable 2-1 victory over Black Leopards in a Premier Soccer League match at Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.

AmaKhosi led 1-0 at half-time.

The energetic Pule set up David Radebe with a brilliant

back-heel pass and the former Free State Stars player made no

mistake beating a diving 'keeper Silver Tshabalala in the 20th

minute.

Leopards defender Thokozane Mnguni should have done better to

clear a threatening move inside the hosts area but surprisingly he

allowed Radebe to score.

Pule was back in the spotlight in the second half. He

impressively left two defenders wanting and, again, fed Radebe who

converted from the close range in the 70th minute completing his

brace.

Pule, who came out from rehabilitation a fort-night ago, was a

marvel to watch with his darting moves and impeccable passing in

the middle of the park.

It was a sweet victory for care-taker coaches Doctor Khumalo and

Ace Khuse, who registered their third win and a draw in their four

outings since taking over from the rested Muhsin Ertugral.

They guided AmaKhosi to their first win against Hellenic (1-0),

Ajax Cape Town (out of the Coca-Cola Cup) 1-0 and a 1-1 draw with

Ajax on Wednesday before humiliating Leopards in front of their

local fans.

Leopards' new coach Shepherd Murape made a dizzy debut after

taking over the reigns from coaches Augustine "Mthakathi"

Makalakalane and Antonio de Vivo.

Makalakalane and de Vivo were conspicuous by their absence on

the game and this fuelled speculation that the duo had been given

marching orders by the hard-to-please Leopards management.

The visitors took the match to the hosts and the spectators, who

came in droves, agreed after the game that the "Phefeni Glamour

Boys" deserved to win.

Leopards' clear chance came in the 43rd minute when Peter

Matshitse and 'keeper Brian Baloyi failed to communicate but

Jackonia Cibi could not capitalise.

Instead he fired a shot wide much to the disappointment of local

fans.

Both teams gave as much as they received in the second half and

in fact it was anybody's game up until the 76th minute when Radebe

grabbed the second goal for Chiefs.

Leopards had to wait until late in the game to reduce their

deficit through Christopher Netshidzivhi, who scored from the

penalty spot in the 86th minute.

This was after referee Jonas Nhlapo awarded Leopards a penalty

after Fabian McCarthy was adjudged to have rough-tackled Sibusiso

Dlamini inside the box.
