Baroka FC got their campaign back on track with a hard-fought come-from-behind victory over visiting Chippa United for their first success over the Port Elizabeth side in three years.

The 2-1 win‚ their third of the season to go with a defeat and a draw so far‚ catapulted the Limpopo side to third spot on the DStv Premiership standings.

Fellow attacker Richard Mbulu made sure of the maximum points when he found himself totally unmarked in the United box to head in the winning goal.Thoka had watched in disbelief in the past three matches with his team dropping five crucial points as they gave up a lead late in the 1-1 draws against Orlando Pirates away and Lamontville Golden Arrows at home.

Baroka had the brightest of starts to the new season‚ chalking up two back-to-back victories and a draw in their opening three matches before a mini slump.“I’m very happy for the boys‚ they showed character and the fighting spirit. It is what I wanted from them. I’m very happy about the performance of the boys‚” Baroka coach Thoka said in his post-match television interview.
