Meanwhile, Cape Town City climbed to third place with 14 points after securing a thrilling 3-2 victory over Gomora United at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Friday.

In another match played on Friday, Highbury suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Lerumo Lions at Nelson Mandela University Stadium.

In the final match of the day, Upington City secured a 2-0 victory over Orbit College at Mxolisi Dicky Jacobs Stadium to round off the weekend’s fixtures.
