SuperSport v Royal AM

The first half ended deadlock at nil all. It was, however a one sided affair with the hosts SuperSport dominant throughout the entire 45 minutes.

In the first half, Tshwane side registered a total of seven shots, two on target whilst Royal AM went to the break without testing Ricardo Goss as they failed to fire a shot at goal.

Bradley Grobler and Onismor Bhasera had great chances to put the hosts ahead, however they couldn’t find the back of the net.

In the second half it was galore for both teams. Thamsanqa Gabuza scored his first goal of the season breaking the deadlock in the 59th minute.
