First-half goals from Kingston Nkhatha and Mario Booysen helped SuperSport United defeat Platinum Stars 2-0 in an Absa Premiership clash.

Though wasteful on most occasions, Nkhatha’s goal sealed victory for Amatsatsantsa as they moved up in the top 8.

Booysen opened the scoring in the 26th minute before Nkhatha’s delightful header inside the box made it 2 nil.

There were no goals to talk about in the 2nd half but in the 64th minute, Nkhatha missed a sitter after rounding Stars keeper Mlambo and somehow the striker placed his effort wide of the target.
