Chippa United moved four points clear of the relegation zone with a convincing 3-0 win over Richards Bay FC on Saturday night.
The Chilli Boys controlled large periods of the match, and Sirgio Kammies broke the deadlock just before halftime, tapping in from close range after a spill by Richards Bay goalkeeper Ian Otieno, giving the hosts a vital lead going into the break.
The second half saw Chippa maintain pressure and extend their advantage, with Justice Figuareido setting up Somila Ntsundwana for the second goal.
