The victory was a rare second in succession for Wits at their home venue where they gave away many important points, collecting only 23 instead of 45 that were on offer in 15 matches.
The defeat could not have come at a wrong time for Baroka, who needed three points to avoid going to their last match against fellow relegation strugglers Maritzburg United next Saturday still needing victory to ensure they avoid relegation or promotion play-offs against two National First Division sides.
Clever Boys striker Lehlohonolo Majoro scrambled in the opening goal of this match in the 32nd minute when he broke Baroka’s offside trap to beat the keeper Elvis Chipezeze and defender Vusi Sibiya before poking the ball home. Defender Robyn Johannes ensured Wits victory when he slotted home from the penalty spot after Sibiya pulled Terrence Dzukamanja inside the box right in front of referee Abongile Tom.
