Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was in goal for South African side Kaizer Chiefs as they came from two goals down to beat Polokwane City to remain top of the South African PSL at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday afternoon.
Jabulani Maluleke must have thought he had put his side in an unassailable position when he made it 2-0 in the 61st minute after Lesiba Nku had opened the scoring for the Limpopo side early in the first half.
Midfielder Willard Katsande pulled one back for Ernst Middendorp’s men in the 71st minute. Anthony Akumu scored the equaliser for the Glamour Boys four minutes later, and immediately after, Serbian striker Samir Nurkovic snatched the all-important winning goal. Akpeyi got into the bad books of the referee when he received a yellow card in the 40th mins.
Middendorp’s men were able to then hold on for the remaining minutes and finished 3-2 winners to open up a six-point lead over Mamelodi Sundowns at the top of the table.
