Team of Choice squandered a 1-nil lead over Supersport United and ended up 2-1 losers on Friday night in front of their home crowd at the Harry Gwala Stadium. 


Having scored in the first half, Maritzburg United had a chance of leap-frogging Jomo Cosmos and AmaTuks on the PSL log. But Supersport United had other plans and stole the match in the last half hour of the game.


Bradley Grobler and Jeremy Brockie struck for the visitors, who ran out 2-1 winners to keep Maritzburg in the relegation zone.


Team of Choice now have three matches left in the season and relegation is almost certain. They will need to win their last three games against Orlando Pirates, Ajax Cape Town and Cosmos to have any chance of staying in the top flight next season.


Meanwhile Saturday's big clash sees Mamelodi Sundowns host Kaizer Chiefs in a top of the table clash.


The Brazilians are top with 59 points, while Bidvest Wits are second with 55. Amakhosi are 15 points behind the leaders but will be looking to secure their third place spot.


Locally, Golden Arrows host Free State Stars at the Chatsworth Stadium - kickoff is at 15h00.
