Tinjauan Carioca 1. Div. Taca Rio relegation

Amakhosi visited Rise and Shine in the league, gunning for maximum points to make it two wins in a row. However, City were stubborn, stopping the Soweto giants from moving to second on the league table.

The Buccaneers made amends for their early setback as they bounced back in the CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg. After both sides played out a goalless draw in the first meeting, neither team wanted a repeat on Saturday afternoon, with the goals finally flowing as the home side came out on top.

Another goal for the league's form marksman saw Usuthu continue their climb up the table. This followed a late equaliser from veteran striker Bradley Grobler on Friday night to grab a point for Gavin Hunt's men that sees the Winelands club sneak into the top eight before the rest of the pack plays. We are still in the early stages of the season where one win, or point, can see a team go from relegation candidates to contenders.

The former Orlando Pirates full-back's move to the Tshwane giants adds serious firepower to their defensive ranks. The arrival of the 29-year-old at Chloorkop hasn’t just bolstered Masandawana’s star-studded squad, but he is also tipped to challenge for a place in the national team setup.
