SuperSport hold off Maritzburg

Pietermaritzburg - SuperSport United faced a barrage of Maritzburg United attacks in the second half, but they were resolute enough to secure a 1-0 win at Harry Gwala Stadium in a PSL encounter on Saturday afternoon.

The goal came in the 38th minute courtesy of New Zealand international Jeremy Brockie, who netted his fourth league goal in seven starts since he was signed by Gordon Igesund in January.

The 27-year-old’s hot run of form had been well documented in the build-up to the match, as well as his combination with former Kaizer Chiefs target man Kingston Nkhatha. It was indeed that partnership that broke the deadlock after an opening period that had delivered nothing in the way of goal mouth action.
