Polokwane City bounced back from a run of three straight defeats with a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Chippa United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Rise and Shine were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by Richards Bay FC before also suffering back-to-back PSL losses against Orlando Pirates and Golden Arrows, but they were able to collect all three points against the Chilli Boys on Saturday to get their season back on the right track.
The winning goal came as early as five minutes into the clash when Ndumiso Mabena applied the finishing touch to a great team effort to put the home side in the lead.
TS Galaxy moved to within a stone’s throw of the top eight with a decisive 2-0 victory over AmaZulu at the Mbombela Stadium.
Both of Galaxy’s goals came in the second half, with Thato Khiba putting the home side in the lead with only his second goal for the club in the 54th minute, before Serbian striker Samir Nurkovic doubled their advantage 20 minutes later.
There was no coming back for AmaZulu from there, as their winless streak in the DStv Premiership stretched to five matches.
The victory moves the Rockets into ninth place on the PSL table with 28 points, just one behind Golden Arrows, while Usuthu remain rooted down in 12th.
Champion on the field, leader in spirit. Congratulations, Mpho Mvelase, on being named Man of the Match!@aQuelle @aQuelleViV #Siyadumuza #TheRockets #TSG pic.twitter.com/jvaEDnawED
