Nyondo’s twin striker Zimbabwean Denver Mukambe struck the winner in the 55th minute after Chippa United equalised in the 39th minute.

The goal has taken him to bandwagon on the 16th position of the top goal scorers.

Puleng Tlolane of Polokwane Stars in the current top goal scorer with Free State Stars Moeketsi Sekola with eight goals.

The win has lifted University of Pretoria to fourth place up from eight on the 16-team log table.

They have extended their unbeaten run to five matches having collected 22 points from 18 games.
