As a South African soccer fan at the moment, you will have to admit that this year's ABSA premiership season was the most thrilling ever. This season had no "big" or "small" teams. Every team was capable of beating the other team, whether it was a big team or a small team. And now to conclude the season, only three teams now stand a chance of winning the title namely Ajax Cape Town, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs. Now the question is that who's going to be the last man standing between these teams?
After a thrilling Saturday afternoon, we saw Mamelodi Sundowns' title hopes fade away as the lost to Maritzburg United by 3-1, Pirates played a 1-all draw against Santos and Ajax were humbled by Chiefs who beat them by 4-0.
After the weekend's results, Ajax are currently on 1st position with 59 points, followed by Pirates with 57 points and Kaizer Chiefs on 3rd position with 56 points.
Looking at the current log standings, Ajax have a great chance of clinching the title because all they need is to beat Maritzburg United in their last match. Pirates and Chiefs will need a miracle for them to win the title. For Pirates to win the title, they will need a win against Golden Arrows and hope that Ajax loses to United. Chiefs on the other hand will have to make sure that they beat Amazulu and see if both Ajax and Pirates lose their respective matches. Interestingly enough, the Durban based teams will decide who's going to win the title (Amazulu, Golden Arrows and Maritzburg united). They hold the key to the title. So it all depends on the Durban teams. So may the best team win (in my opinion, Ajax will win the title)
