At the halfway mark of the mini round robin competition that will crown only one winner with the reward being the last remaining place in the PSL, Black Leopards lead the way with a win and a draw from their two matches played. The remaining duo of Jomo Cosmos and Platinum Stars are yet to register a victory in their plight for top-flight football with the latter still searching for their first goal following their goalless stalemate on Wednesday.

Lidoda Duvha ended a run of five matches without a win in all competitions against their opponents from across the provincial border with that controversial 1-0 success just over a week ago in the opening fixture of these playoffs, Phathutshedzo Nange netting his fourth goal of the campaign. That was just the third time ever that Black Leopards have managed to overturn their more fancied opponents, in 15 attempts and their first since famously dumping Stars out of the
Nedbank Cup in the quarter-finals in 2009.
