After losing their previous two league matches in a row, the NFD League newcomers, Baroka FC, made amends and registered a shocking victory against African Warriors, whom they beat 2-0 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday.
Baroka moved a few steps up on the log, following their impressive results. They are now lying in the 8th spot.
Chippa United were held to a 1-1 draw by the Maluti FET College. Chippa are still in the second position on the log. Jomo Cosmos stood firm against all odds when they played to a goalless draw with Santos at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.
Santos were awarded a penalty, but their slender striker, Steven Solomon, caused an upset by shooting wide. Cosmos did not lose their original fighting spirit, despite the fact that they were reduced to 10 men early in the last half.
The pacesetters, Milano United, continued to pave their way to the Absa Premiership by beating their neighbours, Vasco da Gama, 1-0 at the Parow Park Stadium.
After collecting the maximum points in their previous two matches, Black Leopards fought hard to grab a point against Sivutsa Stars at the Kabokweni Stadium near Nelspruit. The score was 2-2 when the final whistle was blown.
Blackburn Rovers failed to absorb the pressure from FC Cape Town, when they lost 0-1 at the Gelvandale Stadium. The victory was the first for the Cape Town side in nine league outings. FC Cape Town moved from the last to the second-last position on the log.
It was another bad weekend for Thanda Royal Zulu. They were brutally walloped 0-4 by United FC at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Witbank Spurs played to a 2-2 draw with Roses United at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank.
