SuperSport United Football Club centre-back Thatayaone Ditlhokwe won man of the match award after beating Maritzburg United 2-1 at home.

The match was held at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

The Botswana international did not only put up a solid performance on the pitch, he also netted a later winner as Matsatsantsa consolidated the position two spot by virtue of goal difference. They share the same number of points (11) with the Cape Town side Stellenbosch FC. Rivals Mamelodi Sundowns are still top of the table after beating Orlando Pirates on the weekend.

This is a big motivation to the Botswana national team captain who formed a good partnership with Luke Fleurs at the back.

Meanwhile United will play their next league match on the road against Chippa United this coming weekend.

The match is scheduled for Saturday October 2 at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in East London.

The team leaves for the Eastern Cape on Friday.
