Table-topping Mamelodi Sundowns experienced a reality check, succumbing to a 4-0 defeat against Chippa United in the DStv Diski Challenge on Saturday.
This marked the first loss of the season for the Tshwane side, who had previously enjoyed an undefeated streak of 12 matches. The Chilli Boys displayed ruthless efficiency in both halves, leaving the visitors to ponder the emphatic defeat.
While the heavy loss did not impact Masandawana’s standing atop the league, it did narrow the gap, with second-place Orlando Pirates now trailing by just a single point.
Orlando Pirates 3-1 Cape Town Spurs
Orlando Pirates rebounded from last weekend’s setback against SuperSport United, securing a convincing 3-1 win over Cape Town Spurs.
Pirates wasted no time in taking the lead, with Mpumelelo Ndaba creating the opening just three minutes into the match. Despite the visitors’ response to level the score before halftime, the Sea Robbers sealed the victory in the final stages of the second half. Goals from Sphamandla Mdunge and Lulama Nxumalo secured the three points and put the Urban Warriors to rest.
Stellenbosch 2-0 Polokwane City
Stellenbosch FC solidified their position in third place on the league standings with a comprehensive 2-0 win over bottom-placed Polokwane City.
The Winelands team maintained their impressive form as goals from Langelihle Phiri and Azola Jakalashe ensured victory, leaving Polokwane City without a win.
Sekhukhune United 3-2 Kaizer Chiefs
Kaizer Chiefs concluded the year in the DStv Diski Challenge on a disappointing note, falling 3-2 to Sekhukhune United on Sunday.
Despite entering the break in front with a fine header, Amakhosi faced a spirited comeback from Babina Noko. The seesaw battle saw the Amakhosi regain the lead, only for Sekhukhune to pull level once more. Marks Jordan secured the winner in the dying minutes of regular time, adding to the drama of a thrilling encounter.
Royal AM 2-2 SuperSport United
Defending champions SuperSport United let a 2-0 lead slip, settling for a 2-2 draw against Royal AM and extending their inconsistent campaign.
United had a comfortable two-goal cushion at halftime, courtesy of goals from Siviwe Magidigidi and Manelis Mazibuko. However, Thwihli Thwahla staged a comeback in the second half, overturning the deficit and denying Matsatsantsa back-to-back defeats.
