Gallants Shock Galaxy And Boost Survival Hopes, Polokwane City End Seven Game Winless Run

Marumo Gallants boosted their chances of survival as they shocked TS Galaxy 2-1 at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa stretched the gap between themselves and the relegation zone to three points after making it back to back wins and jumped to 12th on the Betway Premiership standings.

The Rockets' CAF hopes took a huge knock, as well as the loss, a seventh of the season saw them fail to overtake third-placed Stellenbosch, whom theyre level with on 35 points, having played two more games.

The encounter got off to a quick start with a goal scored in the first two minutes with the visitors finding the back of the net after a mistake in the build up for Galaxy.

Midfielder Masindu Nemtajela came into life to intercept a pass before bursting into the box. After his initial effort was saved, he was fortunate to see the ball land at his feet again, and he poked home for Gallants.
