Captain Mbekezeli Mbokazi sealed the win for Ezimnyama Ngenkani, adding another goal to their tally. This victory propelled Joseph Makhanya's team to 6th place in the league standings, accumulating 31 points. Conversely, Dikwena tša Meetse find themselves still in 11th position with 14 points after 18 games.

On the same day's fixtures, AmaZulu and Sekhukhune United battled to a goalless draw, while TS Galaxy's struggles continued as their winless streak stretched to six games following a 2-2 draw against Chippa, deepening concerns for the team.
