Supersport flirting with relegation

The Pretoria club are at risk of dropping to the second division at the end of the season.

City premiership side Supersport United are living dangerously following another Absa Premier League loss on Wednesday night.

The Pretoria side remains 14th on the log after a first-half strike from Rodney Ramagalela earned his Polokwane City a 1-0 home win at the old Peter Mokaba stadium in Limpopo.

To further complicate matters for United was the loss of veteran defender Morgan Gould to a second-half a red card for a reckless challenge.

United are on 27 points – three from the relegation zone – from their 25 matches having recorded only six wins.

Should they lose more games, the Pretoria side could be relegated.

Last month the side defeated Atletico Petro de Luanda 2-1 in the CAF Confederation cup match to qualify for the group stages where they will face Kenyan side Gor Mahia later this month.

In another game on Wednesday, Mamelodi Sundowns saw off Chippa United at the Loftus Versfeld with goals from Percy Tau and Khama Billiat to remain at the top of the standings.
