Polokwane salvaged a late point against Chippa after a penalty drama, while Babina Noko’s Limpopo derby win reignited hopes of a strong finish following a winless run. Arrows bounced back to secure all three points, as Usuthu were once again stalled in their push for CAF spot qualification, with the battle between Gallants and Orbit still wide open in the relegation zone.

Babina Noko’s Limpopo derby win has reignited hopes of a strong finish to the season. Arrows also bounced back, securing all three points against City. Usuthu were once again stalled in their push for CAF Confederation Cup qualification, while the Chilli Boys continue to fight clear of the relegation scrap. The battle between Gallants and Orbit remains wide open.

Despite settling for a single point in Saturday’s encounter, finishing chances were scarce, and the situation could have turned far more disastrous for the title-chasing Sea Robbers. However, a timely half-time talk from the Bucs’ tactical team proved crucial, as Ouaddou explained that his side intensified their efforts and were rightfully rewarded with a goal.

Former Bucs striker Andries Sebola did not hold back in his assessment of the current forward line following the stalemate at Orlando Amstel Arena and believes the lack of clinical finishing is threatening their title aspirations, specifically singling out their 24-year-old striker for criticism and questioning Abdeslam Ouaddou's tactics and substitutions.
