Marumo Gallants moved further away from the relegation zone in the Betway Premiership after defeating TS Galaxy 2-1 on Sunday evening.
The Rockets were unchanged from their last match, as Daniel Akpeyi, Lebohang Mabotja, Tshepo Rikhotso, Khumbulani Ncube and Daniel Msendami survived following the win at Cape Town City.
Gallants enjoyed a solid start two minutes in when Masindi Nemtajela applied smart composure to nestle the back of the net from the danger area.
Former Kaizer Chiefs man Kamohelo Mahlatsi almost made it two with a header in the area following a corner by Daniel Msendami, but he failed to hit the target.
Galaxy's first attempt in anger came around the half-hour mark and had fullback Marks Munyai go wide of the upright following a clever delivery.
Adnan Beganovic's men continued to conjure up chances late in the half through Dzenan Zajmovic, Kamogelo Sebelebele and Sphiwe Mahlangu.
Puso Dithejane came on ahead of the second half and replaced Munyai, as the visitors showed no changes.
Marumo added to their advantage ten minutes after halftime when Msendami moved into a clever position to get onto Mlungisi Khumalo's layoff and nestled the net.
The Rockets continued to experience difficulty in the earlier stages of the clash, but nearly pulled one back as Dithejane drilled a lay-off from Zajmovic wide of target.
Dithejane strengthened their quest to a comeback when he set-up Victor Letsoalo on the edge of the box to find the net and reduced the lead.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa introduced new signing Dino Ndlovu for his debut midway through the clash and removed Khumalo.
Galaxy were buoyed and pushed for a second in the latter stages to fulltime but were unable to get in-behind as Bahlabane held on for the win victory.
