Chippa United vs TS Galaxy

TS Galaxy ensured they would be playing in the DStv Premiership again next season after clinching a narrow 1-0 win over Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela ...

Both clubs pushed for a winner in the final moments of the match, with Bathusi Aubaas getting on the end of Mahlangu's cross to force Kazapua to save his header in the 84th minute before Melusi Buthelezi was required to keep out Azola Matrose's angled strike from the right soon afterwards. Sandile Mthethwa then produced a sharp save out of Buthelezi from close range and it proved vital as Galaxy struck in added time with Msimango beating Kazapua from inside the area. Chippa were first to threaten after the restart as Thokozani Sekotlong directed a header just wide of the right post from Bienvenu's delivery in the 49th minute, while back up the other end Mbatha dragged an effort just beyond the left post from inside the box moments later. Kazapua was called into action again just before the half-hour mark to keep out Ebrahim Seedat's long-range shot, in what was the final real action of the first half. The hosts quickly went up the other end of the pitch and nearly scored a goal of their own, but Ramasimong Maloisane's shot drifted just wide of the near post from inside the box on the right. Kurt Lentjies' team had slipped closer and closer to the drop zone after going three games without a win in the league and they almost found themselves trailing inside five minutes when Lindokuhle Mbatha forced Lloyd Kazapua into a fine save with a strike from range.
