Bradley Grobler scored his fifth goal of the season in the league as Sekhukhune United kept their winning form, while Magesi FC registered their first win.
Magesi FC secured their first win of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season following a 2-0 win over Siwelele FC at the Seshego Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Delano Abrahams and Thabang Sibanyoni were on target for Dikwena tลกa Meetse. First, Abrahams broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time, and Sibanyoni weighed in with their second goal in the 72-minute mark.
That was all Magesi FC needed to earn their first set of maximum points in the 2025/26 campaign. Siwelele FC finished the match with one man down after Samir Nurkoviฤ was red-carded in the first half.
This was Siwelele FC’s second defeat on the trot, having lost by a similar score-line at the hands of Durban City FC on Tuesday evening.
BRADLEY GROBLER EMERGES AS THE POINT OF DIFFERENCE FOR SEKHUKHUNE UNITED
At the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, 37-year-old strikerBradley Grobler continued with his fine form after scoring the only goal that Sekhukhune United needed to beat a battling Golden Arrows outfit.
Grobler is defying the odds of age through a combination of an unparalleled work ethic and goal-scoring instincts. He scored a 90th-minute goal to earn Babina Noko their sixth win of the season. Grobler has now scored five goals in seven league matches.
Babina Noko came into this one brimming with confidence after accounting for the scalp of Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday night.
On the other hand, Abafana Bes’thende were licking their wounds following their 2-1 defeat to Polokwane City FC on Wednesday.
And after facing serious resistance from Arrows, Grobler was the point of difference again, as he headed the ball home from what looked like a harmless cross, a few moments before the final whistle.
As such, the Eric Tinkler-coached side remains fixated at the summit of the log table with 19 points. In addition, Grobler was the Man of the Match.
RICHARDS BAY INFLICT MORE PAIN ON STELLENBOSCH FC
At the Danie Craven Stadium, Siyabonga Thokozani Nzama scored the only goal of the match as Richards Bay FC beat Stellenbosch FC 1-0 on Saturday evening.
Stellenbosch have endured a painful patch in recent times. They last won on 26 August, beating Marumo Gallants 1-0, which is their only league win to date.
That was followed by defeats to Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu FC in the Betway Premiership. In addition, they lost to Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 final.
And the defeat to Richards Bay pushed them down to 13th position, with four points in seven matches. Richards Bay are now 10th on the log table with eight points on their tally.
Meanwhile, Orbit College FC and Gallants settled for a 1-1 draw at the Olympia Park Stadium on Saturday night.
The hosts, Orbit College FC, surged ahead after 10 minutes courtesy of a goal by Thuso Moleleki. Sekela Sithole equalised for Gallants in the 65th minute. Orbit College FC remain at the bottom of the log table, while Gallants are ninth with nine points from seven matches.
