Baroka FC extend unbeaten run as Maritzburg beat Orbit College

Baroka FC extended their unbeaten run in the Motsepe Foundation Championship under Dan Malesela after beating Hungry Lions 2-0 at the Global Stadium on Saturday.

Bakgakga are unbeaten in their last six games in the league under the guidance of Dan Malesela, who took over the coaching reigns last month.

Malesela was appointed the head of Baroka FC in October, replacing Stanford Nkoane, who was sacked due to a poor start to the 2023/24 campaign.

They won four games and drawn two in six matches played under the former Chippa United mentor.

The Limpopo-based side climbed to the sixth spot after accumulating 17 points in 11 games played in the NFD.

MARITZBURG UNITED HAND ORBIT COLLEGE A DEFEAT

Elsewhere, Maritzburg United beat in-form Orbit College 3-1 at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday.

Despite losing to Maritzburg, the Mswenko Boys remain top of the league table with 22 points in 11 games.

Orbit College had a flying start to life in the second tier after gaining promotion from the ABC Motsepe last season. The North West-based outfit won seven games, drew one and lost three times.

Meanwhile, Casric Stars played to 1-1 draw against Upington City at Giyani Stadium on Saturday.

Casric Stars and Upington City occupy seventh and eighth position respectively. Stars have 15 points while City obtained 14 points after 11 games.

In addition, Venda FC brushed aside Magesi FC 2-0 at Malamulele Stadium on Saturday to walk away Limpopo derby bragging rights.
