Royal AM vs Sekhukune United

Royal AM goes into the game on the back of a win in the Nedbank Cup. The KwaZulu-Natal based team beat Cape Town City FC in the Nedbank and now take on Swallows FC in the next round. Sekhukhune United on the other hand come into the game after suffering a shock defeat to Platinum City Rovers. Royal AM is currently seventh in the standing, one point ahead of Sekhukhune United, who is in eighth place, SuperSport reported.

Maritzburg United vs Supersport United

It’s a revenge match for Maritzburg United who was dumped out of the Nedbank Cup by Supersport United over the weekend. An Iqraam Rayners goal separated the two sides and Maritzburg will be looking to turn the tables during their DStv Premiership clash. Supersport United find themselves sixth on the log table, level on points with Royal AM. Maritzburg on the other hand finds themselves languishing near the bottom of the table.

Cape Town City on the other hand will move level with Sekhukhune United today if they were to get the win.

Lyle Lakay and Richard Mbulu score stunners, Mamelodi Sundowns and Baroka FC play out to an entertaining draw

Baroka FC scored in the dying seconds of their game against Mamelodi Sundowns to steal a point against the Brazilians. Lyle Lakay opened the scoring for Sundowns with a stunning freekick but this was cancelled out by Richard Mbulu.

In a game that Sports Brief monitored, Lakay was in exceptional form and was unlucky to have only scored one goal. Lakay had three freekick chances, striking the post and crossbar with two of them, while he scored with the other.

Lakay also hit the crossbar with a long-range effort in the first half when the game was still goalless. Lakay’s first freekick attempt came on the 25th minute, but despite beating the wall, the ball crashed into the post.
