Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe reveals one of their tactics was to "cheat with Oswin Appollis" in the win over Kaizer Chiefs.
Rise and Shine climbed to third spot on the Betway Premiership table after defeating the Soweto giants 2-0 on Sunday.
The Polokwane tactician praised Tlou Nkwe for picking up the Man of the Match award, who worked well with Appollis down the left flank.

"With Nkwe it has been coming, because almost every match it's either between him and [Thabang] Matuludi, between him and [Bulelani] Nikani, between him and [Lebohang] Nkaki, so for him today it's good that he came out tops," Mohafe told SuperSport after the game.
"The boy is working hard, so polite, so humble. The shift he put today, with Chiefs overloading on his side, I think he did well, because at some point there were three players on his side.
"We wanted to cheat with Appollis and we did well in those circumstances.
"The situation allowed him to be Man of the Match and we're thankful of him today."
