Current Absa Premiership log leaders Kaizer Chiefs have claimed the second quarter of the 2019/20 Absa Premiership Q-Innovation.
This is the second successive Q-Innovation victory for Chiefs in the 2019/20 season.
Chiefs won Quarter Two with 16 points from seven fixtures.
Going to the previous weekend, Bidvest Wits were the only side that stood a realistic chance of upsetting Chiefs’ party but their 0-2 loss to Cape Town City on Saturday night ended their Q2 aspirations.
Mamelodi Sundowns finished second on the Absa Premiership Quarter Two log standings with 14 points from seven fixtures.
Wits, who came in third, also had 14 points – but scored fewer goals than Sundowns.
Chippa United, who have been rebirthed under Zimbabwean coach Norman Mapeza, were fourth with 13 points.
Before this season kicked off in August 2019, Chiefs had not won a Quarter since 2014/15 season – which happened to be the last time Amakhosi claimed the Absa Premiership title.
Each side that wins a Quarter gets R1.5 million in prize money. Quarter One (8 Fixtures), Quarter Two (7 Fixtures), Quarter Three (8 Fixtures), Quarter Four (7 Fixtures)
The PSL congratulated Kaizer Chiefs for winning the Quarter.
