On the other hand, this was Magesi’s fourth draw in six matches they have played thus far. They secured one victory and suffered one defeat in the other two encounters.
The Free State-based club currently holds the ninth position with a total of seven points accumulated from six games.
Orlando Pirates are next in action against Lamontville Golden Arrows on the road next Saturday while Magesi face Chippa United on the same day.
Moreover, in the other matches of the day, Richards Bay FC triumphed over Cape Town City with a score of 3-0, while Sekhukhune United hammered Chippa United with a 5-1 scoreline. The match between Marumo Gallants and TS Galaxy ended in a 2-2 draw.
The Natal Rich Boyz climbed up to the eighth position after collecting their second victory of the season.
