TS Galaxy 2-3 Mamelodi Sundowns
Sundowns took an early lead through Brayan Leon’s penalty after seven minutes as he returned from a suspension that kept him out of Sundowns’ first game of the season at the weekend.
But TS Galaxy hit back through veteran forward Victor Letsoalo as Sundowns were sloppy around their box and coughed up possession.
There is something about the Rockets against Sundowns and they took the lead when Letsoalo, who was suspiciously offside, headed goalwards. The ball struck the post and went in off Brazilians goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
But the hosts could not hold on as Sundowns poured forward and when Sphelele Mkhulise poked the loose ball towards goal, a massive deflection took it into the corner of the net.
And it got better for Sundowns as they claimed a late winner with substitute Mkhulise sweeping home Khuliso Mudau's low cross in the 94th minute.
Polokwane City 3-3 Stellenbosch
It was a seesaw battle in Polokwane where the home side took the lead against Stellenbosch FC thanks to Giovanni Philander’s first-half strike, which was his first-ever goal in professional football.
But Stellenbosch turned the fixture on its head as they took a 2-1 lead when Sinoxolo Kwayiba equalised with his first goal for the club, before Devin Titus added another.
That was how it stayed until midway through the second half, when Surprise Manthosi also grabbed a first career goal and Raymond Daniels made the score 3-2.
But there was more drama and Stellies equalised again via a Lindokuhle Mathebula own goal as they pulled level once more.
Chippa United 1-1 Richards Bay
Chippa took the lead after 23 minutes through Ntuthuko Mlotshwa, but Richards Bay hit back with an absolute screamer from Namibian Baggio Tuli-Ngenovali Nashixwa.
He lived up to his Italian namesake’s quality as he rifled the ball in from range to give his side a point.
