Chiefs & Downs Lose, Pirates Win & CT City Move Top

Kaizer Chiefs suffered their first defeat of the DStv Diski Challenge campaign while Cape Town City moved top after handing Marumo Gallants a hefty football lesson.

Orlando Pirates kicked off the weekend on a high note beating Sekhukhune United 1-0. Siphamandla Msezane’s first half goal was enough for Buccaneers to claim all three points making it back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Meanwhile, Babina Noko suffered their third defeat of the season.

High scoring Cape Town City started the Sunday in a good way, hammering Marumo Gallants 6-1. In-form Shakeel April continued where he left off as he scored yet another brace as City recorded a third successive win at home having scored 15 goals in total.

The battle of the titans down in the Cape Vineland saw Mamelodi Sundowns taking the lead through Thulani Zandamela against defending champions Stellenbosch FC. Stellies equalised through Kyle Bailey before Tauric Gamaldien scored the winner in the 90th minute.

SuperSport United, who were down to 10 men after Sabre Benjamin was given his marching orders, shocked Chiefs by beating them 1-0. This is United’s first win of the season after playing three successive draws. Amakhosi dropped to second place as City soared up to the top of the table.
