Let’s take a look at how the PSL standings have changed after Ajax were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player and docked a total of nine points.
Ajax Cape Town has been found guilty of fielding Tendai Ndoro and forfeit matches against Platinum Stars, Polokwane City and Supersport United. They lose all three matches 3-0 and they have been fined R50 000 on each offence. This will affect the whole PSL table with teams like AmaZulu crashing out of the top eight due to SuperSport United climbing up to seventh after getting their three points back.
Let’s check out how the updated standings look with the new number of points.
1. Mamelodi Sundowns 60
2. Orlando Pirates 55
