Black Leopards 0-1 Magesi FC
Magesi FC managed to stage a late reprieve to secure 1-0 win over Black Leopards to stay on top of the Motsepe Foundation Championship table on Saturday.
Nothing separated the team in the first half and for large spells, it seemed as if a draw would suffice as no sign of a deadlock looked in sight.
Clinton Larsen's men did get over the line though albeit five minutes before time when veteran striker Rhulani Manzini netted to leave Leopards in the top eight.
Orbit College 0-0 Maritzburg United
Orbit College once again dropped points and squandered another chance to get closer to the top of the table following a goalless draw with Maritzburg United.

The home team didn't take long to get going but were in the lead in the opening 20 minutes courtesy of Decide Chauke and held on until the conclusion of the half.
Another strike from the aforementioned followed a little inside the resumption – subsequently giving him a brace in the bigger scheme of things.
La Masia began to come alive after the difficult spell and hit back with inside 20 minutes to play through Tshepo Kakora before snatching a point in the final seven minutes through Brendon Morris.
JDR Stars 1-0 Milford Stallions
JDR Stars scraped a five-match winless run in the league to see off Milford Stallions 1-0 and maintain their mid-table standing in the league.

Platinum City Rovers 0-4 Pretoria Callies
Pretoria Callies recorded back-to-back wins to continue moving up the table after crushing the relegation-threatened Platinum City Rovers 4-0.

More then followed suit from the Tshwane side following the resumption and left Rovers with a tail between their legs and down in the dreaded bottom-two positions.
Upington City 1-1 Marumo Gallants FC
Upington City missed a golden chance to pick up back-to-back wins in the Championship following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants FC.

The visitors hit the front and for large spells threatened the lead when Monde Mphambaniso found the net, but Bafana Ba Gucci rescued a point in the final minutes through the on-form Keletso Makgalwa.

University of Pretoria 2-1 Hungry Lions
University of Pretoria came from a halftime deficit to see off Hungry Lions 2-1 and maintained their promotion push in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
It wasn't the ideal start for AmaTuks, who trailed at halftime after Tshepang Makara's diving header whilst attempting a defensive clearance ended up finding his own net.
The promotion-chasing boys from the capital city raced back and levelled late in the second half through a fine finish from Thabang Sibanyoni, whilst had Malekgene Mampuru dismissed for a second bookable offence.
Sibanyoni wasn't done and actually completed the comeback four minutes to the end with another well-taken effort to leave Di Tau totally broken as well as with no points.
