Cape Town Spurs grabbed fourth spot on the log after a narrow 1-0 win over Magesi on Sunday afternoon at Athlone Stadium.

Platinum City Rovers 0-1 Venda Football Academy

Venda Football Academy moved off the foot of the table after a last-gasp 1-0 win over Platinum City Rovers on Sunday afternoon at Olen Park Stadium.

VFA took full advantage, as Rhulani Manzini found the winner in stoppage time.

Venda moved up to 13th on the table, just a place below City Rovers, with both sides tied on 15 points.

Polokwane City held on to top spot by virtue of goal difference despite a heavy 3-1 defeat to Baroka on Saturday afternoon in the Limpopo derby at Global Stadium.

Baroka goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke broke the deadlock just before the half-time break from the penalty spot and Polokwane pulled a goal back just after the hour-mark.

Sekela Sithole restored the lead for Bakgaga almost immediately from the restart and Junior sealed the deal with ten minutes to go.

Rise and Shine remained top with a superior goal difference over Casric Stars, as both sides are tied on 30 points while Baroka climbed up to tenth on the table.

University of Pretoria 0-3 Pretoria Callies

University of Pretoria lost their fourth game in five outings after a 3-0 drubbing by Pretoria Callies in the Tshwane derby on Saturday afternoon.

AmaTuks dropped down to eighth on the log while Callies moved up to 14th.

NB La Masia 1-2 All Stars

In-form All Stars won their fourth game in five matches after edging NB La Masia 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at Wits Football Stadium.
