Milford FC maintained their top spot in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with a 2-0 victory over Baroka FC, while AmaTuks are still searching for their first win under Kwanele Kopo.
The KZN-based side defeated Baroka on Saturday at Mafori Mphahlele Stadium and established themselves as early contenders to win the league title and gain automatic promotion to the Betway Premiership.
Milford are sitting at the summit of the log after collecting 15 points in six matches played thus far. They won five games against Lerumo Lions, Venda FC, The Bees, Cape Town City FC, Baroka, and suffered a defeat against Casric Stars.
Elsewhere, AmaTuks played their sixth successive draw in the Motsepe Foundation in the new season under the guidance of Kwanele Kopo. The former SuperSport United youth coach has had a challenging start to life in the second tier after taking over the coaching role in the off-season. Tuks are positioned 11th on the league table with six points in six games.
CAPE TOWN CITY SUFFER ANOTHER SETBACK
Meanwhile, in the only match played midweek, Cape Town City FC suffered a 1-0 loss against Leicesterford City FC at Athlone Stadium.
The Citizens have had a rocky start in the second division after being relegated from the SA top-flight through the PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs. CT City are yet to taste a win in the 2025/26 campaign after playing three draws and losing three times in six matches.
