Siwelele FC registered their second Premier Soccer League win after beating Marumo Gallants 1-0 at Dr Molemela Stadium on Sunday. 

A solitary goal by Tebogo Potsane in the 39th minute was enough for the home side to collect the three points. 

Despite losing, Gallants remain above Siwelele, as they are 11th with 10 points. Siwelele are now 12th with seven points.

Durban City registered a 3-1 win over Magesi FC in a match held at Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday.

Magesi took the lead when Wonderboy Makhubu scored in the 29th minute, but the home side fought back to win in the end.

The PSL debutants equalised through Samkelo Maseko, who found the back of the net in the 50th minute, before Saziso Magawana struck in the 77th minute for their second goal.  

The home side extended their lead to compound Magesi's woes when Letsie Koapeng scored in the 88th minute.

The win takes Durban City to the third position with 15 points. Consequently, Polokwane City dropped to the fourth position, Chiefs are fifth, TS Galaxy are sixth, Golden Arrows are seventh, and Orlando Pirates are eighth.

Magesi are 15th with six points. 

Sekhukhune were the livelier of the two sides in the opening exchanges at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, but the match remained goalless until Polokwane City broke the deadlock courtesy of a strike from Mokibelo Ramabu in the 32nd minute. Rise and Shine defended well to head into the halftime break leading 1-0.

In the second half, Babina Noko pushed forward in search of a breakthrough, but Polokwane City held their defensive shape and stood firm - securing all three points and denying Sekhukhune the opportunity to widen their lead at the top of the Premier Soccer League standings as Babina Noko suffered their first league loss of the season.

Babina Noko are now second after Sundowns defeated Richards Bay, who are in the 10th position.

Arrows wasted no time stamping their authority on the match, with Junior Dion opening the scoring in just the fourth minute. The striker netted his fifth goal of the season, finishing clinically from close range to give his side an early advantage.

The hosts continued to pile on the pressure and were rewarded again when Siyanda Ndlovu capped off a swift and well-executed counterattack to double the lead. Arrows’ fluid movement and sharp passing left Orbit College chasing shadows throughout the first half.

With a comfortable 2-0 cushion heading into the second half, Abafana Bes’thende showed no signs of easing off. They maintained their attacking intent, relentlessly pressing Orbit College in search of a third. Their persistence paid off in the 72nd minute when substitute Jerome Karelse marked his debut goal for the club, sealing a well-deserved 3-0 lead and putting the result beyond doubt against Monnapule Saleng's side, with the winger enduring a quiet game. The emphatic 3-0 win sees Abafana Bes’thende in seventh-place on the PSL table, edging ahead of Orlando Pirates by a single point. 

Orbit, on the other hand, are 13th.
