Heavy Rain Gives Leopards Second Chance


Kaizer Chiefs fans on the field of play


On Saturday the 15th of September we witnessed another soccer league match, where Kaizer Chiefs versus Black Leopards had to stop because of  heavy rainfalls. The match was played at the FNB soccer stadium at Johannesburg in the evening, the game was officially called off just as the mighty Amakhosi had been leading the match 2-0 in the first half of the 90 minutes with goals coming from the on-form striker Bernand Parker and the former Black Leopards sticker now playing for Kaizer Chiefs Kingston Nkatha. As the league match was said to be postponed till further notice this decision gave Black Leopards also known as "Lidoda Duvha" a great advantage since the game would be restarted at 0-0 on the scheduled day.

This Decision that was first influenced by the referee Daniel Bennet saying that he couldn't see the lines on the field, saw the fans flocking in the field of play while the rain continued. The Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter expressed that he was not happy about the decision that the game will be restarted at a nil-nil draw after his side was two clear goals ahead. Although the board of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) also announced that the fans will not need to pay again for the match and will be allowed into the stadium to watch their team of choice battle out for three points.
