John Maduka's team next face Golden Arrows, who held SuperSport to a goalless draw in their clash at the Mpumalanga Stadium.

Aphiwe Baliti should have done better with his chance when the ball fell to him inside the box, but he drilled his effort straight at Edward Maova in the Arrows goal.

Tashreeq Morris was narrowly off target with a header as SuperSport tried to take the upper hand.

Nduduzo Sibiya and Blessing Mchunu were kept out by Matsatsantsa stopper Thakasani Mbanjwa

In the end, it could have gone either way but first Gape Moralo saw his shot from range saved, as Nqobeko Dlamini put his late header inches wide.

For Arrows, it was a first point in three league games after successive losses, to leave them in 10th place with seven points, as SuperSport had to settle for seventh spot, with eight points.
