The afternoon games were hugely contrasting in entertainment value: Marumo Gallants and Golden Arrows produced a snooze-fest for their 0-0 stalemate in Polokwane, while relegation-threatened clubs Chippa United and Baroka FC produced a cracking 2-2 draw. The Citizens defeated TS Galaxy 2-0 at the Cape Town Stadium – thanks to goals from Darwin Gonzalez and Mduduzi Mdantsane – to leapfrog Royal AM (who have now have a game in hand) into second place on the log and boost their hopes of qualifying for next season’s CAF Champions League.

City were finally able to settle their nerves and seal the three points with a second goal in the 83rd minute. The first clear chance of the second stanza went the way of Galaxy, with the visitors able to nick the ball in midfield and break up their right flank in a move which ended with a low shot from Aubaas – his effort looked destined for the net, but Marques got just enough of a touch to deflect the ball onto the post. The Cape side then claimed the lead on 17 minutes, with Thamsanqa Mkhize’s cross from the right brought under control by Darwin Gonzalez, who had all the time and space in the world to turn and strike home a volley from the middle of the penalty area.
