On Saturday, SuperSport United maintained their unbeaten start in the league when they secured a 2-0 victory over Baroka FC with Ghampani Lungu grabbing a quick second-half brace at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

The comfortable victory saw Matsatsantsa remain second on the standings, but they are now a point behind leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns and Baroka moved down to the 10th spot on the log.

While Sekhukhune United made it two victories in a row after claiming a narrow 1-0 win over Cape Town City at the Emirates Airline Park in another game which was played on Saturday.
