However, the unfazed Gavin Hunt’s troops couldn’t create much when they were in control of the match but they frightened the life out of the hosts.
The Cape club had chances to put the game to bed, but luck was not on their side.
The match turned scrappy and congested as the two sides looked to establish control in middle of the park.

In the 81st minute, Bradley Grobler scored the only goal of the game to earn his side a win away from home.
Matsatsantsa tried to pull one back, but luck was not on their side.
The victory saw SuperSport climb up the table to position two with 27, just four points behind log leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns.
