Esau Kanyenda’s City closer to PSL survival

Veteran striker Esau Kanyenda is stepping closer to Polokwane City promotion after beating Milano United 2-0 in a promotion/relegation play-off match at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday.

Kanyenda, who is City’s leading scorer, did not play in the match due to injury, but goals from Sphesihle Nzimande and Thabo Rakhale did the job, reported SuperSport.com.

The win for City sees them up on seven points in the mini-league play-offs, four ahead of second-placed Black Leopards while the loss for Milano ends their hopes of PSL promotion.

Flames defender Harry Nyirenda will not make the game in Chad due to the plays-offs, but he featured in the first round, first leg played in Blantyre.

Kanyenda is yet to be ruled out of the Chad game. The Leopards, who host Milano tomorrow, will host City on June 1 to determine which team makes the PSL grade.
