Polokwane City vs Baroka  FC

Polokwane City emerged victorious after a derby with Baroka FC at Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.

Polokwane City are currently seventh on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) log.

Cape Town City vs Bidvest Wits

Cape Town City’s head coach, Benni McCarthy, performed a miraculous resurrection of his seemingly dead-and-buried team in their PSL fixture.

By half-time, City were behind by two goals, but that changed after half-time in the dressing room.

“A bollocking as usual. Ja,  because I think we were lethargic after we didn’t capitalise on the two early chances we created. So [the message was] minimise the touches, get the ball, look up and know where you want to play,” McCarthy said.

Kermit Erasmus, Surprise Ralani and Riyaad Norodien each scored one goal in a space on eight minutes. 

Bloemfontein Celtic’s Wandisile Letlabika discharged from hospital
