Mamelodi Sundowns strengthened their grip at the top of the DStv Diski Challenge table following a resounding 4-0 victory over Cape Town Spurs on Saturday.
Keabetswe Ramotsei got the ball rolling over 15 minutes from the start before the exciting Siyabonga Mabena added another just after halftime.
The Brazilians completed the riot in the final exchanges with efforts from Onele Rulwana and Oratile Mokoena finding the net minutes apart from each other.
Orlando Pirates 0-0 TS Galaxy
Orlando Pirates continued to lose ground with Mamelodi Sundowns as a goalless draw with TS Galaxy at the Rand Stadium put them five points from top spot.
It’s a second straight clash for the Buccaneers without a win following last weekend’s shock defeat to Cape Town City and remain third on the table.
The Rockets, though, continue to hover down the bottom-half standing and are on a five-match winless run too.
Kaizer Chiefs 1-1 Golden Arrows
Kaizer Chiefs failed to keep the pressure on the pace-setters and were held to a 1-1 draw against Golden Arrows at the Dobsonville Stadium.
After no goals showed in the first half, the Amakhosi bagged the front-foot courtesy of Njabulo Hlongwane but Abafana Besthende rescued a point through Samukele Mlaba.
The defeat ends the Amakhosi’s three-match winning run of form at the same time though, they maintain fourth-place on the back of this stalemate.

As the Dube Birds aimed a response, the Natal Rich Boys weren’t having any of it but took full control as Thabisa Ndelu bagged their fourth to see out the clash.
Chippa United 1-1 Sekhukhune United
Sekhukhune United saw their winless streak extend to six matches after battling out a 1-1 draw against Chippa United in Gqeberha.
