PSL WRAP: Ten-man Marumo Gallants stun Richards Bay on the road as AmaZulu labour to victory against Orlando Pirates loanee Monnapule Saleng's Orbit College

PSL newboys Orbit College got off to a forgettable start to life in the top-flight league when they lost to AmaZulu at Princess Magogo Stadium.

It was a difficult outing for Orbit, who went behind after 23 minutes after Sekhoane Moerane scored an own goal to hand Usuthu the lead and ultimately maximum points. 

Orlando Pirates loanee Monnapule Saleng featured for the league debutants but could not inspire them to a win.

Ten-man Marumo Gallants defied their numerical disadvantage to edge hosts Richards Bay at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium.

Bheki Mabuza scored the fastest goal of the season so far when he struck for visitors Gallants three minutes into the match to take the lead. 

But Bahlanane ba Ntwa's afternoon took a negative turn when their captain, Edgar Manaka, became the first player to be shown a red card in this campaign when he was sent off on 39 minutes. 

The Natal Rich Boyz then took advantage of having an extra man on the pitch to reply through Lundi Mahala 10 minutes into the second half.

But right into stoppage time, Gallants reclaimed their lead through Simo Mbhele to seal victory on the road.

The first goalless affair of the term was witnessed at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in this Limpopo Derby between Polokwane City and Magesi FC.  

Both sides struggled to score and settled for a point each in a match that could leave them having to work more on their forwards.
