Heritage Day was packed with football drama as the Betway Premiership hosted seven matches. Here’s a rundown of what went down.

SEVEN BETWAY PREMIERSHIP MATCHES THAT TOOK PLACE ON WEDNESDAY

Golden Arrows 1-0 Mamelodi Sundowns

In the opening match of the day at King Zwelithini Stadium, Golden Arrows secured a 1-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns. This result marked the first defeat for Sundowns under their new coach, Miguel Cardoso.

The defeat means Sundowns dropped points for the first time this season.

Kaizer Chiefs 1-1 Marumo Gallants

The Soweto giants Chiefs opened their Heritage Day clash at FNB Stadium with a new face on the field. New signing Khanyisa Mayo, brought in from CR Belouizdad, made his debut in a 3-4-3 formation and wasted no time making his presence felt as his clinical finish was the only goal of the first half. However, Jaisen Clifford, a new signing for Gallants, secured a point for his team with a fantastic strike.

Orbit College 1-0 Polokwane City

The Betway Premiership newcomers finally secured a much-needed victory, beating Polokwane City 1-0.
