Cape Town City 0-2 Mamelodi Sundowns
Mamelodi Sundowns closed the gap at the top of the DStv Diski Challenge with a late 2-0 victory over Cape Town City on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the bright opening, the Citizens went close to the lead when teen sensation Emile Witbooi escaped a few challengers with smart footwork before rattling the post with a stumping strike.
No goals materialised during the first spell and the way the match carried appeared as if a draw would be on the cards.
However, a smash-and-grab from the Brazilians four minutes from time saw Malibongwe Khoza break the deadlock with a thumping header.
The final nail in the Citizens coffin had Keabetswe Ramotsei got a yard of space in the danger area to apply a clinical finish and confirmed the full haul of points for the Brazilians.
Cape Town Spurs 0-2 Kaizer Chiefs
Kaizer Chiefs reclaimed fourth spot on the table after securing a 2-0 win over ten-man Cape Town Spurs 2-0 at the Idas Valley Stadium.
The Amakhosi hit the front over the midway stage through a clinical and well-taken finish from Neo Bohloko as the Citizens went to sleep at the back.
Spurs contested the remainder of the match with ten players after Gerswin Esua had committed a second bookable offence and got his marching orders.
Chiefs, though, could be bothered and extend the lead just before halftime when Jeremiah Thanyane fed off telling combination play to dispatch a cool finish.
There weren't any goals in the second period, as the Soweto giants marched to a rather comfortable victory following last weekend's success over TS Galaxy.
SuperSport United 0-0 Polokwane City
Polokwane City were unable to build on their maiden win last week and played to a goalless draw with the current champions SuperSport United.
SuperSport were the livelier of the two in the opening stages with a few smart moves instigated by Neo Rapoo, but Rise and Shine kept a firm head to stave off the Tshwane side.
Both teams maintained a tight and compact nature the duration of the match, as United had Rapoo dismissed for a somewhat off-the-ball incident.
Richards Bay FC 2-1 Moroka Swallows
Richards Bay FC recorded a third successive win to cement seventh-place on the table after overcoming Moroka Swallows 2-1.
Swallows whose first-team have been in the news for over a month now, were in the lead following the second half after the opening quarter concluded goalless.
Top-scorer Ntonelo Bomelo clawed the Natal Rich Boys early in the second period with a spot-kick before going to get the winner in the last ten minutes and completed his brace.
