Siyabonga Mofokeng<\/strong> excelled for Wits, scoring both of their goals.<\/p>\nLast year’s league runner-up, Highlands Park<\/strong>, shared a goalless draw with the University of Pretoria (Tuks). <\/strong>Scoring goals remains a struggle for the \u00a0Lions of North<\/strong> <\/em>this season.<\/p>\nRockefvs<\/strong>, on the other hand, seized early control of their match against Kathorus Hyper Academy<\/strong>, scoring in the first minute through Remothabetse Dithathe<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThey added a second in the 38th minute, with Tatenda Nyandoro<\/strong> slotting after an assist from Kopano Mathabathe<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSeven’s Academy<\/strong> and Jomo<\/strong> Cosmos<\/strong> were in dire need of a win, with Seven’s Academy in 18th and Cosmos in 17th ahead of their clash. It was tight, but Seven’s Academy claimed a crucial\u00a01-0 victory.<\/p>\nIt was a lot easier for Kaizer Chiefs<\/strong>, who cruised to a dominant 5-0 win over the Africa School of Excellence<\/strong>. Gift Phoku <\/strong>struck twice to stake the Phefeni Glamour Boys <\/strong><\/em>to a two-goal lead, and further goals from Tsheamo Mosana, Karabo Modikwe<\/strong>, and Benjamin Eliyahu<\/strong> sealed an emphatic victory for AmaKhosi<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\nAfter Friday’s action, the teams had Saturday off to recover before another round of matches on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Rockefvs followed up their 2-0 victory over Kathorus with another 2-0 win, this time over Panorama 2-0. Remothabetse Dithathe<\/strong> was the architect of their victory, laying on goal-scoring opportunities for Orfha Nzhinga<\/strong> and Tatenda Nyandoro<\/strong>, who took them.<\/p>\nPMYF scored a second draw of the long weekend, finishing 1-1 against Highlands Park, thanks to a goal from Pusetso Mokoalaba<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSunday produced another couple of draws, with Jomo Cosmos and Tuks ending goalless, while Kaizer Chiefs found Siwelele to be a far tougher challenge than the Africa School of Excellence, and their clash ended 1-1.<\/p>\n
Africa School of Excellence, to their credit, performed far better against Mamelodi Sundowns at Elandsfontein, where the Brazilians<\/strong><\/em> clinched a hard-fought 4-3 victory.<\/p>\nSbusiso Tolomane<\/strong> opened the scoring for Downs<\/strong><\/em>, assisted by Kamohelo Mareletse<\/strong>. Kgaogelo Monanyane<\/strong>, with an assist from Fusi Mokhampane<\/strong>, doubled the score for Bafana Ba Style<\/strong><\/em>. Thando Singo <\/strong>then twice assisted Daylin Tieeme<\/strong> to score as the defending champions won by the odd goal in seven.<\/p>\nKathorus, meanwhile, celebrated a narrow 2-1 victory over Seven’s Academy, with Esethu Witvoet<\/strong> scoring the first goal for Kathorus, assisted by Moeketsi Monese<\/strong>, before Ayabonga Ndlela<\/strong> sealed the win for the East Rand club.<\/p>\nRemember Elite Sport Academy (RESA)<\/strong> achieved a 3-1 victory over Prestige, with the Vereeniging-based club taking the lead on an own goal in the ninth minute. Nceba Jozela<\/strong> extended RESA’s lead in the 39th minute and added a second seven minutes into the second half.<\/p>\nRandburg completed a bountiful long weekend with a second victory on Sunday.
