Black Leopards were hopeful that they would conquer Cape Town when they flew to the mother city two weeks ago, but that was not to be. Instead, they lost all three matches they played against the Cape Town teams.

Apart from giving away league points to their opponents, Leopards conceded 10 goals in the three matches.

Their first match in Cape Town was against Santos, to whom they lost 2-3. They suffered a 1-4 defeat at the hands of Cape Town All Stars last Tuesday evening, before losing 1-3 to Milano United three days later. Morgan Shivambu scored their only goal against Milano United while Deniro Stanely, Devon Saal and Nasief Morris scored for United.

Instead of contesting for promotion, Lidoda Duvha are now fighting for survival. They are now lying in the third-last position on the log, with 12 points accumulated from 13 outings. Jomo Cosmos are now leading the pack with 26 points gained from 13 matches.

Baroka FC rose to the occasion and walloped Santos 4-0 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday. Baroka’s goals came via Thabang Selowa, Mashidi Mokobane, Thabiso Kutumela and Victor Letsoalo. Lamontville Golden Arrows registered their first defeat, following their 1-3 loss to Thanda Royal Zulu at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

FC Cape Town fought hard for their 3-1 win over Highlandspark at the NNK Rugby Stadium in Cape Town. Garankuwa United were too good for Maluti FET College, whom they brutally walloped 4-1 at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa. Cape Town All Stars continued to collect vital points when they beat African Warriors 1-0 at the Charles Mopedi Stadium in Phuthaditshaba.
