Durban City are closing in on a return to the Betway Premiership after they walloped JDR Stars 3-0 on Sunday afternoon while Cape Town Spurs lost again and now languish in 15th position.
Season-end is fast approaching, and Spurs find themselves in the relegation zone after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Pretoria University on Friday with Samuel Julies scoring the only goal of the match. Venda FC are also still in danger after they could play to a 1-1 draw against Highbury FC away from home.Â
Things are getting more tense for Brando Truter’s Upington City after a 1-0 loss against Milford FC. Siphosethu Ndlabi scored the only goal from the penalty spot in the second half with City now currently in 14th place with the same number of points as Spurs, separated by goal difference.Â
Pretoria Callies moved to 11th place after a massive win against Hungry Lions, beating them 2-1 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. The Romans have 33 points and need just three points to secure their status for next season.Â
The only fixture on Sunday was between title contenders Durban City up against JDR Stars as the Durban-based outfit scored three unanswered goals through Tshanini Falakhe, the in-form Joslin Kamatuka, and experienced campaigner Ruzaigh Gamaldien. Coach Simo Dladla’s charges now need just four points to secure promotion to the Betway Premiership.Â
