The Premier Soccer League witnessed a series of intense goalless draws on Wednesday, 22 November, proving just how tight the competition has become.
Platinum Stars 0 – 0 Bloem Celtic
The Stars came close in the first half with Vuyo Mere’s early efforts, while Brian Mwila’s post-interval goal was ruled out due to offside.
Both sides maintained tight defenses throughout, with Celtic’s Kabelo Mahlasela having a shot saved and Dikwena’s Robert Ng’ambi narrowly missing a late chance.
AmaZulu 0 – 0 Kaizer Chiefs
Usuthu commanded the match on home ground but were unable to convert several chances into goals.
The standout moment was a penalty saved by Itumeleng Khune from Rhulani Manzini in the 54th minute, ensuring the Chiefs earned a crucial point.
Despite Phumlani Gumede’s dismissal for a second yellow card in the dying minutes, AmaZulu held on tight, sitting ninth, while Chiefs climbed to sixth place.
Maritzburg 0 – 0 Polokwane City
Maritzburg United, struggling to find the back of the net, managed to withstand Polokwane City’s late surge to secure a goalless draw at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
A midfield-heavy first half offered limited chances, with Maritzburg ending strongly, but Polokwane couldn’t capitalise in the more open second half.
Free State Stars 1 – 1 Chippa United
A flurry of goals in the final minutes sealed a thrilling 1-1 draw between Free State Stars and Chippa United at Goble Park.
Both teams showed attacking promise through the first half yet created few clear-cut opportunities in the tight opening stages.
The second half was action-packed with chances for both sides before goals came fast:
- Manqele netted in the 84th minute
- Okwuosa equalised in the 86th minute
