Kaitano Tembo's men had the first sniff at goal after just four minutes when Iqraam Rayners drew a save out of Patrick Nyame with his venomous shot from range.

Macuphu's goal came via a cross from Zukile Mkhize, which gave him his third goal of the season.

The hosts were presented with a golden opportunity to hit back immediately when the referee pointed to the spot after Thamsanqa Gabuza had gone down under a challenge from Lesego Manganyi inside the area. Jamie Webber failed to capitalise though, as his penalty was saved by Nyame.

Gamphani Lungu then tested Nyame with a header from Keenan Phillips' cross on 16 minutes and the forward passed up another chance five minutes later when he fired wide at the near post following a fine pass from Webber to play him in on the right.

Nyame was called into action again on 38 minutes to punch away a free-kick from Moses Waiswa on the left directed at his near post, while Rayners narrowly missed the target with a curling effort from outside the box in the 41st minute..

Matsatsantsa pushed for the equaliser, with Webber shooting from range and forcing a save out of Nyame on 58 minutes before substitute Aubrey Ngoma almost made an instant impact from the bench as he tested the visiting keeper moments later.

The second goal seemed to take the wind of out Matsatsantsa's sails as they succumbed to a second successive defeat.
