SuperSport claim revenge in Saturday's Betway Premiership action

Yesterday at 03:14 AM

South Africa's Betway Premiership saw five matches played across the country on Saturday, headlined by a revenge victory for SuperSport United over Kaizer Chiefs.

SuperSport, who had lost their last three matches across all competitions and been trounced 4-0 by Chiefs in the Carling Knockout last weekend, defeated the Soweto giants 1-0 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in the lone early-evening kick-off, with Tashreeq Morris striking late in the first half.

It was the Amakhosi's second defeat in four league matches this season and saw them drop to ninth place on the log – with United rising to eighth.

The late match at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium saw Chippa United outclass Golden Arrows 2-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, courtesy of goals from Siphelo Baloni and Andile Jali, to rise to third place on the log.

In the afternoon matches, Royal AM claimed a first win of the season when they defeated Sekhukhune United 2-0 at the Harry Gwala Stadium, courtesy of goals from Ayanda Jiyane and Motebang Sera.

Ten-man Marumo Gallants held TS Galaxy 1-1 at the Dr Molemela Stadium. Edgar Manaka was sent off for the hosts late in the first half, and Samukelo Kabini put the Rockets on course for a first league win, but Bahlabane Ba Ntwa struck back via Xola Mlambo to secure a share of the spoils and ensure they remained clear of the relegation zone.

And at the King Zwelithini Stadium, Richards Bay and Stellenbosch FC played out a 0-0 draw. The Maroons ended the game with 10 men, following a late red card for Jayden Adams.

The Betway Premiership continues with a full round of fixtures this coming midweek, Tuesday 29 to Thursday 31 October, headlined by Mamelodi Sundowns hosting Cape Town City.
