SuperSport United jumped to sixth spot on the DStv Premiership table with a 2-1 win over Maritzburg United on Friday evening.
Maritzburg had Lucky Baloyi and Rowan Human back following the win over Orlando Pirates, while Matsatsantsa made one change from the win over Mamelodi Sundowns as Grant Margeman returned to midfield..
SuperSport didn't have a settled opening 15 minutes and should've trailed when Amadou Soukouna sneaked in behind off a through pass and went clear before he fired wide of George Chigova's goal.
Matsatsantsa sat deep and contained the pressure from Maritzburg after the half-hour mark and earned an opening through a free-kick by Iqraam Rayners that bounced off the wall.
However, Maritzburg regained confidence before halftime and nearly took the lead when Ismail Njoti charged into the area and steered a cross wide of the bottom-corner after a neat build-up.
SuperSport decided to refresh their attack after halftime and removed Bradley Grobler for Thamsanqa Gabuza, whilst Maritzburg remained unchanged.

The Team of Choice still caused problems five minutes into the second half after a thumping shot from Tshidiso Monamodi produced a sharp save from Chigova at the far post.
Matsatsantsa responded four minutes later and went ahead from a corner-kick where Thatayaone Ditlhokwe made his towering presence count and nodded home.
Although, the lead was short-lived this as Genino Palace got on the end of a looping ball around the middle of the park and lobbed over the on-rushing Chigova.
SuperSport didn't drop their heads just over the last 20 minutes and regained the lead when captain Onismor Bhasera charged into the area and nodded home a cross from Ghampani Lungu.
A succession of late openings particularly from the host showed, but Matsatsantsa remained calm and made it three straights wins to continue their climb up the table.
