Venda Football Academy 0-1 Baroka

Baroka won their first game of the season in Dan Malesela's second game in charge after a last-gasp 1-0 win over Venda Football Academy in the Limpopo derby on Sunday afternoon at Malamulele Stadium.

After a goalless first stanza, Kabelo Kgositsile snatched what proved to be the winner for Bakgaga in the last minute.

Baroka climbed up to tenth on the log with seven points while Venda dropped down to the bottom of the table with five points.

University of Pretoria 1-0 Black Leopards

University of Pretoria won two games on the bounce for the first time after edging Black Leopards 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at ABSA Tuks Stadium.

An early goal from Lulama Maqoko was enough to hand AmaTuks back-to-back wins.

The Tshwane side moved up to sixth on the log with 12 points while Leopards dropped down to 11th spot with seven points.

Orbit College 3-2 Marumo Gallants

Orbit College returned to the top of the table after edging Marumo Gallants in a five-goal thriller.

Orbit took a two-goal lead to the break and nearly threw away the game after Gallants got two goals in the second stanza back through Mangawana and Cyrille N'Guessan.

However, the North West-based side got the winner in the dying minutes and moved two points clear at the top of the table. 

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa fell down to seventh on the log with nine points.

Magesi 2-3 JDR Stars

Magesi suffered their first loss of the season after a 3-2 defeat to JDR Stars on Saturday afternoon at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

JDR opened the scoring on 20 minutes and Mcedi Vandala levelled matters for Dikwena eight minutes before the break.

The Hammerboys restored their lead early in the second stanza and got a two-goal cushion with eight minutes to go.

Tshepo Matsemela reduced the deficit for Magesi in the last minute from the penalty spot but that was not enough to preserve their unbeaten run.

The win took the Tshwane side up to fifth on the table, one place and two points behind Magesi.

Platinum City Rovers 0-1 Maritzburg United

Maritzburg United won back-to-back games for the first time after edging Platinum City Rovers 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at Isak Steyl Stadium.

The win took Maritzburg up to second on the table, two points behind leaders Orbit College while City Rovers dropped down to 14th with five points.

Casric Stars 0-2 Milford

Milford won their first game of the season after beating Casric Stars 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at Giyani Stadium.

Jabulile Gxakoshe handed Milford the lead with 11 minutes on the clock and Siphosethu Ndlabi secured the three points with the second goal nine minutes before time.

Casric slipped down to eighth on the log with eight points while Milford moved off the bottom of the table by just one place, up to 15th.

Upington City 1-1 Pretoria Callies

Pretoria Callies remained without a win after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Upington City on Saturday afternoon at Windhoek Draught Park.

Following a goalless first-half, Callies broke the deadlock early in the second stanza but the visitors were reduced to ten men just before the hour-mark after Ismail got a red-card for a bad challenge.

Bafana Ba Gucci capitalized on their numerical advantage, as they rescued a point with the equaliser four minutes before time.

Callies and Upington were left lying 12th and 13th on the log respectively, with the same number of points, six.

Hungry Lions won their third game in a row after thrashing NB La Masia 4-0 on Friday afternoon at Isak Steyl Stadium.

Raymond Daniels gave Lions an early lead, Valtyn gave them a two-goal cushion on the hour-mark.

Pitso Tlotlego put the result beyond doubt for the visitors ten minutes before time and Katlego Cwinyane rubbed salt into the wounds of La Masia with the fourth goal in stoppage time.

The win took Ditau Dia Rora up to third on the log, just two points behind leaders Orbit College while La Masia had to settle for ninth spot.
