Durban City 2-0 TS Galaxy
Durban City claimed a crucial 2-0 victory over TS Galaxy at Chatsworth Stadium in Durban in what had been billed as a vital six-pointer.
The sides began the evening separated by just one point, heightening the significance of the contest. After a tightly contested first half, Patrick Fisher broke the deadlock in the 65th minute when he put the ball in the back of his own net to give the hosts the lead.
Luphumlo Sifumba sealed the result with a second goal in the 86th minute to confirm another impressive home display.
The win maintained Durban City's strong form on their own turf and saw them leapfrog TS Galaxy into sixth place in the standings.
