Sekhukhune United moved to third place on the Betway Premiership table with a 1-0 win over Chippa United on Saturday afternoon.
One addition for Babina Noko after the win over AmaZulu saw Katlego Otladisa dropped for Tshepo Mokoane, while Chippa were unchanged from the win over Cape Town City.
Babina Noko looked to draw first blood after a quiet opening and witnessed a curling shot from the far side by Keletso Makgalwa fly across the face of goal.
Returning Shaune Mogaila bettered equation when he took a low pass from Makgalwa in his stride and powered in the bottom-corner from 30-yards out.
With the host on the back-foot, a double substitution at halftime saw Ronaldo Maarman on for Craig Martin before Siphelo Baloni replaced Papama Tyongwana.
Chippa struggled to get momentum going, but possession variations by Eva Nga, Sinoxolo Kwayiba and substitute Maarman forced the visitors sit and play on the counter.
Rising star and graduate Giovanni Philander went close to levelling it up with a scorching free-kick from way out, but pulled well beyond the intended target.
Congolese striker Andy Boyeli swiftly switched momentum to the visitors and almost had his seventh of the season when his angled shot from the box forced Stanley Nwabali to a save.
The Chilli Boys regained confidence a little later as Aphelele Teto snapped a glorious chance from point-blank range well wide.
Babina Noko went close to a second in added time through a clever dink from Makgalwa, but he hit the upright as the clash ended 1-0.
