Stellenbosch FC registered their third Betway Premiership win of the season when they edged out Marumo Gallants 1-0 at the DHL Cape Town Stadium on Thursday night.
The win elevated Stellies to the fourth in the league standings after returning to winning ways and they will be looking to make it two victories when they take on Gallants in a Carling Knockout quarterfinal match on Sunday in Polokwane.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, on the other hand, saw their three-match unbeaten run come to an end which sees them placed 14th in the standings and they will be seeking revenge when they host Stellenbosch in a cup match.
Stellies controlled the match from the start and they used a lot of wing play with Fawaaz Basadien’s cross finding Ashley Cupido in the box, but the striker failed to keep his attempt on target in the seventh minute.
Sanele Barns was afforded space and time to shoot from on the edge of the Gallants box in the 40th minute, but his goal-bound shot was bravely blocked by Thapelo Mokobodi and the score 0-0 during the halftime break in the Mother City.
