Betway Premiership: Cape Town City and Gallants earn first wins, AmaZulu bottom

The win marked an important bounce-back for Cape Town City, who were eager to recover from a 3-0 defeat to Stellenbosch just three days earlier.

Prins Tjiueza netted the game's only goal in the 34th minute, capitalising on a defence-splitting pass from Haashim Domingo to slot the ball past Ricardo Goss.

Earlier in the match, Jaedin Rhodes had tested Goss with a long-range effort in the eighth minute, and Tjiueza missed a golden chance to open the scoring just five minutes later.

Rhodes came close again with a shot that narrowly missed the target just before the half-hour mark.

In the second half, Cape Town dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances to extend their lead.

SuperSport United nearly equalised three minutes from time when Lyle Lakay's powerful shot forced a brilliant save from Darren Keet.

Despite their late efforts, SuperSport left Athlone Stadium empty-handed.

Gallants claim win to push AmaZulu to bottom of the table

Marumo Gallants secured a narrow 1-0 victory over AmaZulu FC in their Betway Premiership clash at the Free State Stadium.

Daniel Msendami's early goal, his first for Gallants, came in the third minute and proved to be the difference between the two sides.

The victory moved Gallants up to 14th place with three points, while AmaZulu languished at the bottom of the table after suffering their third consecutive defeat.

Gallants dominated early proceedings, with Msendami capitalising on an opportunity to beat AmaZulu goalkeeper Olwethu Mzimela.

Despite their lead, Gallants missed a chance to double their advantage when Sekela Sithole's header was saved by Mzimela in the 38th minute.

AmaZulu, determined to avoid another defeat, brought on Bonfiace Haba at half-time to add more attacking firepower.

Nigerian striker Etiosa Ighodaro posed a constant threat with his movement and physicality, but AmaZulu's best chances came through Tshepang Moremi, who hit the crossbar in the 57th minute and missed another chance just after the hour mark.

As the clock ticked down, substitute Sede Dion had a late opportunity to equalise, but his shot went wide in the 86th minute. Gallants held firm to claim their first win of the season.
