Chippa United remain at the bottom as draws dominate Betway Prem

Magesi FC against Marumo Gallants in a Betway Premiership

Lowly Chippa United remained at the foot of the Betway Premiership table after a goalless draw with Siweleleโ€ฏFC, while two other matches ended in stalemates.

On Sunday, Marumo Gallants came from behind to earn a 1โ€‘1 draw with Magesi at Drโ€ฏMolemela Stadium. Magesi started the match on the front foot, dominating possession, while Gallants were slow to move out of their blocks. Dikwenaโ€ฏTลกaโ€ฏMeetse took the lead after 27โ€ฏminutes through Kgomotsoโ€ฏMosadi.

Gallants were forced to make a substitution, pulling out Ndabayithethwaโ€ฏNdlondlo for Jaisenโ€ฏClifford in the 35th minute. Clifford made an immediate impact, equalising in the 42nd minute, and the teams went into halftime level. Despite a hardโ€‘fought second half, no further goals were scored.

As a result, Gallants are now 11th on the Betway Premiership table with 15 points, while Magesi are 15th with 11 points.

CHIPPA UNITED WOES MOUNT AS THEY REMAIN AT THE BOTTOM

At the same venue, Drโ€ฏMolemela Stadium on Saturday, Siweleleโ€ฏFC and Chippa United settled for a goalless draw. Going into the fixture, Siwelele had managed only four wins in 13 games, while Chippa United could point to just one victory.

In short, Chippa Unitedโ€™s season has been disappointing, and all hopes are pinned on Vusumuziโ€ฏVilakazi to help the Chilli Boys turn the corner. Vincentโ€ฏPule almost broke the deadlock in the opening five minutes, firing a low shot from a through ball by Siviweโ€ฏMagidigidi that just missed the target.

Lehlohonoloโ€ฏSeemaโ€™s side continued to dominate the chances in the final stages of the first half, with Relebohileโ€ฏMokhuoane also wasting good opportunities. Siwelele are now 11th with 15 points from 14 matches, while the Chilli Boys remain rooted at the bottom with eight points.

In another Saturday fixture, Polokwane City FC drew 0โ€‘0 with TSโ€ฏGalaxy at the Old Peterโ€ฏMokaba Stadium. Prior to the match, Polokwane City FC had five wins from 12 games, while TSโ€ฏGalaxy sat in sixth place with six wins and a draw.

Both teams were slow to move out of their blocks, though Galaxy dominated possession. Polokwane City created the better chances, but neither side could find the net. After 13 matches, Polokwane City and TSโ€ฏGalaxy occupy sixth and seventh place respectively, each with 20 points.
