A midweek round of Betway Premiership action saw Mamelodi Sundowns extend their lead at the top of the log and move ever closer to an eighth successive title, while Kaizer Chiefs were held to a 0-0 draw by Cape Town City.
Wednesday featured a trio of matches, the most notable of which saw Chiefs and City play out a stalemate at the FNB Stadium to continue their iffy campaigns.
For the Amakhosi, the draw means that they have won just once in their last four league outings and remain in eighth place on the log, while the Citizens have now gone nine matches without a win across all competitions.

And at the Dr. Molemela Stadium, Sekhukhune United defeated Marumo Gallants 2-1 in a match which kicked off late due to a rain delay.

The result saw Bahlabane Ba Ntwa remain in the relegation playoff zone, while Babina Noko are flying high in third place.

Tuesday’s headline result came from the Lucas Moripe Stadium, as Mamelodi Sundowns defeated AmaZulu FC 2-0 thanks to goals from Peter Shalulile and Arthur Sales.
The victory saw the Brazilians extend their lead at the top of the log to 18 points, as second-placed Orlando Pirates could only draw 0-0 against 10-man Stellenbosch FC at the Athlone Stadium.
Milestones, spectacular goals & clean sheets! 🙌

The Buccaneers have four games in hand on Sundowns, but even assuming a full haul of 12 points from those outstanding fixtures, plus a victory over the reigning champions when the teams meet this coming Sunday, the Soweto side would still be three points off the pace.
