Mamelodi Sundowns moved to the summit of the Dstv Diski Challenge table after securing a thumping 5-2 win over newcomers Durban City on Saturday.
Highly rated Masandawana striker Bennet Mokoena stole spotlight as he scored four goals to send Downs to the top of the reserve league table with seven points after three matches.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates edged Chippa United 1-0, thanks to a last-gasp winner from Thuto Sesipi. The Bucanners occupy the second spot and level on points with the log leaders.
Last season’s runners-up Stellenbosch FC returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Richards Bay on Sunday to move up to third place with six points.
On the same day, AmaZulu made it back-to-back wins as they cruised to a 4-1 victory at the expense of Polokwane City to round up the top four.
Defending champions Kaizer Chiefs saw their unbeaten run come to an end as they succumbed to a slender 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy and dropped to fifth place with six points.
In the middle of the pack, Sekhukhune United and Orbit College claimed their first wins of the season with victories against Golden Arrows and Marumo Gallants, respectively.
On the other hand, Magesi settled for a one-all draw with Siwelele FC as the two teams remain winless, along with Durban, the Chilli Boys, and Arrows, who occupy the last three spots, respectively.
