University of Pretoria will be playing in the Premiership next season.

Despite losing 3-2 against Mpumalanga Black Aces, AmaTuks are six points clear of second placed Blackburn Rovers with one game left to play.

Two first half goals from Phumelele Bhengu and one in second from Liniker Nwikisa gave Aces the much-needed three points, but they are still not out of the relegation zone with 30 points.

Atlie FC had a great start to the game when Phumudzo Manenzhe scored in the first minute to give them the lead against Sivutsa Stars. However, they could not hang on to the lead and let in a late goal from Sakhile Mkhalipha in the 75th minute to level the scores.

Atlie stay bottom with 27 points, while Sivutsa move to 12th.

Bay United beat Witbank Spurs 1-0, and stay in the relegation zone. United are in 14th place with 31 points, while Spurs move down to 11th with 34.

Dynamos also got a much needed win when they beat FC AK 4-3 at home. Dynamos are now on 31 points while FC AK's chances of a Play-off place hit a stumbling block, as they move down to fifth.

Chippa United broke Blackburn Rovers' hearts when they beat the title contenders 2-0. Rovers will not get automatically promoted to the Premiership, but are still in with a chance of a Play-off place.

United occupy the last Play-off place with 48 points, while Rovers stay second with 49.

Thanda Royal Zulu kept the pressure up on Chippa, who are currently third. Thanda thashed Vasco da Gama 4-1 to move to 47 points. Vasco remain sixth with 42 points and cannot make it to the Play-offs.

FC Cape Town beat United FC 1-0 and remain one above United in eighth.

Carara Kicks jumped to 10th place when they beat African Warriors 2-1.

With the promotion spot having been decided, focus will now change to the Play-off spots, as well as the bottom of the table, where four teams still have a chance of being relegated with just one game left to be played next weekend.

A friendly advices to you Tuks if you want to stay in the PSL, 1. When playing in the PSL never think of relegation and do not play to avoid relegation, play to win the PSL. 2.Do not play your games, as if you are still playing in the NFD, change your style of play. 3.Do not sell players instead add more quality players. 4.Do not change the Coach, look at what happen to Aces,Vasco and Leopards for changing their coaches when they promoted to the PSL, this must also serves as a leason to you. Congratulations and GOOD LUCK.

Well done to Tuks. Please barker, do not buy PSL rejects under the pretence of experience, they will let you down. Have faith in the players that got the team to promised land. Let them enjoy themselves.

15 more games in PTA, hoping Tuks dont take their home games away from PTA.

Welcome to PSL TUKS.
- You Caused an upset by beating PSL top teams (such as Chiefs) in Nedbank cup previously.
- You produced some quality PSL players such as Mthokozisi Yende, Andile "KING" Jali and Phenyo Mongala
- You have been always ending a season in the TOP 4 of the 1st Division.

Based on the above, you deserve a promotion.

I cannot wait to see you displaying a marvelous football I have seen from you in the previous Nedbank cup matches.

congrats to Pretoria soccer community for contributing the great soccer teams (Supersports, Sundowns and TUKS) to the PSL.

Unlike other cities (JHB, Durban, Cape Town) whom each has a below average team/s in the league, I am sure TUKS will challenge the PSL teams strongly.

I will be happy if the boring defensive Santos gets relegated.

Up the Bucs!!!
