Golden Arrows 0-0 Chippa United

Golden Arrows were held to a 0-0 draw by Chippa United in their Betway Premiership fixture on Saturday evening, missing the chance to close in on the top eight.

Abafana Besthende restored Thokozani Lukhele and Nhlanhla Gasa to the starting line-up after their recent outing against Stellenbosch FC, while the Chilli Boys made one change, with Khaya Mfecane coming in.

Mfecane combined with Azola Matrose for an early long-range effort that failed to trouble Thakasani Mbanjwa. League top-scorer Sede Dion headed wide twice before the break, while Nqubeko Dlamini was withdrawn with a knock and replaced by Siphesile Msomi.

After the interval, chances remained scarce. Siyanda Mthanti forced a save from Dumisani Msibi, Gasa fired narrowly wide, and Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi struck the upright as the spoils were shared.

Siwelele 1-0 TS Galaxy

Siwelele FC edged TS Galaxy 1-0 in a tightly contested clash, extending their unbeaten run to five matches.

The visitors, unchanged from their Nedbank Cup victory over Mamelodi Sundowns, started brightly. In the eighth minute, Vincent Pule unleashed a powerful strike from range that was superbly denied by Ira Tape. Four minutes later, a Sphesihle Maduna corner picked out Igor Silva, but his header drifted wide.

Siwelele suffered a setback on 26 minutes when Tebogo Potsane limped off, with Kgaogelo Sekgota introduced. Junior Zindonga and Victor Letsoalo both failed to trouble Ricardo Goss, while Pule and Sekgota went close after the interval. A late Seluleko Mahlambi effort was comfortably saved as Siwelele held firm.

Orbit College 0-0 Richards Bay

Orbit College and Richards Bay FC played out a goalless draw, leaving the Mswenko boys rooted in the relegation zone. Coach Ronnie Gabriel handed debuts to former Mamelodi Sundowns duo Brian Onyango and Lesedi Kapinga.

Orbit threatened early, with Moses Mthembu and Thulani Gumede testing Cyril Chibwe, while Lindokuhle Zikhali struck the upright. The Natal Rich Boys saw Siyabulela Mabele curl wide before the break. A low-tempo, physical contest ended 0–0 despite late changes from the hosts.
