TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic praises players after historic Stellenbosch win
Seluleko Mahlambi opened the scoring at the Mbombela Stadium after just seven minutes, and an own-goal from Sanele Barns with 62 minutes on the clock sealed a 2-0 result for the Rockets.
It was the first time in their history the club had beaten Stellenbosch, and Beganovic praised his players for their response to losing 2-1 to Golden Arrows in their recent cup quarter-final.
Galaxy are next in action against Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday.
Beganovic told SuperSport: "This is history for this club because since I came to South Africa, we have been struggling to beat Stellenbosch.
"After we were knocked out of the Carling Knockout competition, I said that we needed to focus all our attention on the league and secure as many points as possible until December so that in the second half of the season we can be well positioned.
"We had the desire to win this game, and I want to give all the credit to the players. I am happy with our win, but most importantly, we collected three points."
The last time the Rockets played Sundowns they suffered a 4-1 defeat, although they did manage a 1-0 win over the Betway Premiership champions last season.
“We need to refresh our team because we are playing on Wednesday, and even though I do not have all the information currently, Khulumani [Ndamane] got a knock on the ankle. We are going there to play a good game and be competitive, and we will see what the ninety minutes will bring for us,” said the coach.
Galax are currently in sixth place on the league standings with 16 points from 10 games - six adrift of Sundowns and from a game less.
