The new Betway Premiership season hasnt taken long to hit top gear, and with the top finishers from last season occupied with continental duties, a chance to seize early control will be up for grabs this weekend as the league continues elsewhere.
It could be too early to tell, with only the first-round results done, but momentum and confidence is everything in the long, taxing season that lies ahead.
Lamontville Golden Arrows shock 2-0 win over Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Wednesday night saw them go to the top of the table at the conclusion of the first round.
Siyanda Mthanti put Arrows ahead in the 70th minute, and Lungelo Nguse finished things off with a stoppage-time penalty.
The KwaZulu-Natal side, under the new leadership of Mabhuti Khanyeza, have set their sights on an improved showing this season after missing out on the top eight positions by a single point in the last campaign.
