Milford continue solid top-flight start with Richards Bay drubbing
The Stallions won their third match of the season to move back into fifth position on the league table after dismantling struggling KwaZulu-Natal rivals Richards Bay 5-1.
Milford took the lead in the 28th minute after striker Siphosethu Ndlabi converted a penalty after Lindokuhle Zikhali was sent off for pulling back the attacker in the box.
The home side doubled the scoreline shortly before half-time with Mvelo Zikakayo striking home a loose ball which Bay had failed to clear.
The Natal Rich Boys made a double change at the break but found themselves 3-0 down just nine minutes into the second half when Zikakayo completed his brace with a neat finish from a Ndlabi assist.
Richards Bay managed to pull one back in the 77th minute through Mehluleli Ndelu but Milford restored the three-goal lead via substitute Phakamani Jwara.
Jabulile Gxakoshe, another substitute completed the rout with an elegant strike to hand the hosts a 5-1 win and condemn Bay to 14th spot on the league table.
Siwelele comeback to hold Arrows to draw
Siwelele FC continued their winless run in the 2026/27 Betway Premiership with a 1-1 draw against Golden Arrows on Sunday afternoon.
The two sides played out a cautious first half that produced no clear opportunities before the match came to life just four minutes into the second half when Philani Khumalo opened the scoring for the visitors after a Ronaldo Van Neel lofted cross.
Siwelele rallied to get an equalizer and continuously threatened the Durban-based outfits defence before being rewarded when volleyed acrobatically from a loose ball to level the score.
The hosts had a goal ruled out in the 67th minute after Thabiso Sesane had prodded in a ball that goalkeeper Thakusani Mbanjwa had dropped but was ruled to have committed a foul in the build-up.
Arrows also hit the crossbar with a mishit Khumalo cross before Nhlanhla Zwane drew a good save from new Masele goalkeeper Jody February as neither side could find an elusive winner.
The result sees Arrows in seventh spot on the table while Siwelele occupy 14th spot.
