Kapini hit for six

It was only the second time, in his professional career, for Kapini to concede six goals after having let in a similar number during his time at Highlanders in a Champions League tie against Esperance in Tunisia.
Kapini was beaten four times by Bernard Parker and once by his countryman, Kingstone Nkhatha, who looked explosive in his debut match for the Amakhosi while Siyabonga Nkosi scored the other. Kapini, who is also the AmaZulu captain, told SuperSport, after the match, that he would bounce back from the pounding.
The deadlock was broken in the 38th minute as Josta Dladla cut in from the right before finding Parker, just outside the box, and he showed composure as he stepped away from Tsweu Mokoro before placing his low shot past Kapini. The lead was extended just three minutes later as Erick Mathoho connected with a corner from Siphiwe Tshabalala, but saw his header tipped onto the crossbar; however, Nkhatha was the quickest man to react as he volleyed the ball into the back of the net, 2-0.
Then in the 57th minute Chiefs stretched their lead as Parker received a pass from Reneilwe Letsholonyane on the right before firing past Kapini at the near post.
Parker grabbed his hat-trick in the 65th minute as he received another pass from Letsholonyane on the right and cut inside before curling the ball into the net at the far post using his left foot. Seven minutes later Parker scored his fourth goal beating Kapini with a neat chip.
The demolition was completed in the 90th minute as Parker turned from scorer to provider as he cut the ball across for Nkosi to beat Kapini with a well-taken right-footed shot.
