Black Leopards continued to donate league points to their opponents when they suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Witbank Spurs in their NFD League match at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Emalahleni on Saturday.

Joshua Souls and Sabelo Nyembe scored for the home side before Morgan Shivambu scored the Leopards' solitary goal. It was the second defeat for Black Leopards in a row after losing 2-3 to Stellenbosch FC at the Thohoyandou Stadium two weeks ago.

In their Cape Town derby at the Coetzenberg Stadium, Stellenbosch FC shared the spoils with Cape Town All Stars 1-1 draw. Brent Adonis found the net in the 70th minute with a ground cutter for Stellenbosch, and Abednigo Mosiathaga was on target for All Stars two minutes before the final whistle.

A six-goal thriller at the Harry Gwala Stadium ended in a 4-2 victory for Royal Eagles at the expense of Milano United. George Sedwin scored a brace for Eagles, while the third one came from Raymond Monama. Eagles' fourth goal was an own goal after Lance Beyers deflected the ball backinto his own net in an attempt to clear.

The newly appointed coach of Magezi FC, Mr Shepherd Murape, steered his side to a 1-1 draw against Mthatha Bucks at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Karabo Tsepe put Magezi ahead in the 10th minute with a penalty. Bucks retaliated through Mazwi Ncube in the 78th minute.

Mbombela United collected full points at the expense of Jomo Cosmos, whom they beat 1-0 at the Kanyamazane Stadium in Nelspruit. Santos and FC Cape Town played to a goalless draw at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. Real Kings were too strong for Amazulu (2-0) and Thanda Royal Eagles beat the University of Pretoria 2-1.
