Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows recorded narrow victories in the DStv Premiership on Wednesday.

Goals from Edson Castillo, Ranga Chivaviro and Christian Saile earned Chiefs a 3-2 win over Spurs as Amakhosi secured a victory ahead of Saturday’s Soweto Derby clash against Orlando Pirates.

Sundowns loanee Luvuyo Phela and 17-year-old Luke Baartman grabbed the Urban Warriors’ two goals in a thrilling match that was played at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

At the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto, Moroka Swallows climbed up to the fifth spot on the standings after a Keenan Phillips goal earned them a 1-0 win over TS Galaxy in a match.

Lastly, SuperSport remained second in the league standings after being held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Polokwane City in a match played at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Godspower Ighodaro grabbed a late goal to hand Matsatsantsa what looked like a possible winning goal, but Tholo Matuludi scored to ensure that the two teams shared the spoils on the night.
