Last weekend was not a good one for the two Limpopo National First Division League sides, Baroka FC and Black Leopards.

Leopards came back from Durban with empty hands, following their 0-1 defeat at the hands of Amazulu at the Princess Magogo Stadium. The Zambian international, Bornwell Nwepe, scored the goal which saw the Zulus grab full points in their own back yard.

Black Leopards tried every trick in the book in their search for an equalizer, but it was just not their day. It was the second defeat for the Thohoyandou outfit in a row after suffering a 2-3 defeat to Mbombela United at the Thohoyandou Stadium two weeks ago.

Baroka dropped to the second position on the log, following their 2-2 draw against Royal Eagles at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Eagles meant business from the first whistle and it came as no surprise when their overlapping midfielder, Siyanda Ngubo, opened with a ground cutter in the 11th minute. It took the home side seven minutes to level matters. Victor Letsoalo was on target with a header to bring the half-time score to 1-1.

The league’s top goal scorer, Thabiso Kutumela, scored Baroka’s second goal two minutes into the last half. The visitors from Durban never stopped fighting. They continued to display entertaining football, despite the fact that time was fast running out for them. Siyanda Ngubo completed his brace two minutes before the final whistle.

Mbombela United continued to collect points. This time around they beat Milano United 1-0 at the Kanyamazane Stadium. Thanda Royal Zulu ended Witbank Spurs' five-match winning streak by beating them 2-3 at the Umhlatuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Doing the damage for the Richards Bay side were Menzi Hlope, Christopher Komane and Michael Gumede. Cleopas Dube scored a brace for Spurs. Highlands Park returned to their winning ways by beating FC Cape Town 1-0 at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa.

Santos registered their first victory of the season when they crushed African Warriors 2-1 at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.
