Baccus the hero as Kaizer Chiefs hit back to beat Cape Town City
CAPE TOWN – Kearyn Baccus wrote his name into Kaizer Chiefs folklore after his first goal for the club secured a 2-1 victory over Cape Town City at Newlands on Tuesday night.
Baccus, who was born in Durban but hails from Australia, broke the hearts of Benni McCarthy’s men when he finished with great aplomb with 10 minutes left.
That strike sent the Amakhosi faithful into delirium at the Newlands rugby stadium, and was a reminder of the atmosphere in Mzansi during the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
Up to that point, it had been a largely frustrating night for the visitors, who conceded early on when Kermit Erasmus opened the scoring for City in the fourth minute.
Chiefs defender Daniel Cardoso, though, equalised with a superb header in the 76th minute, which opened the way for Baccus’ late heroics.
