Polokwane City scored first through William Baloyi 18th minute effort, before Siphesihle Nzimande made it 2-0 in the 85th minute. Ntandoyenkosi Ngubane pulled one back for the Tshwane side a minute later, but it proved to be too little too late.
Ajax Cape Town moved away from the foot of the table and up into 11th spot after they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Black Aces. Masilake Phohlongo gave the Urban Warriors a 45th minute lead, a Keagan De Kerk own goal making it 2-0 on the hour, before Clint Fredericks added a third in the 85th minute.

Golden Arrows (third, two points off the summit) were unable to get the win that would have taken them top as they lost 3-0 to Platinum Stars, for whom Ruele Modise netted a brace, with Thembelani Matlawe scoring in between. Stars are seventh on the standings.
The match between home based Chippa United and Kaizer Chiefs proved to be a five goal thriller, AmaKhosi running out 3-2 victors at the Wolfson Stadium.
