Ajax moving up the table


Ajax Cape Town have got their title onslaught back on track. The Urban Warriors beat Bay United 3-1 yesterday. The win has now put Ajax into fourth spot.

The team went into the first half 1-0 up after Mabhuti Khanyeza netted the opener in the 11th minute. Captain Brett Evans doubled his side's lead at the start of the second half. Bay's George Ngangqu got a consolation goal but Mkhanyiseli Siwahla stamped Ajax's authority on the game when he got the third and final goal.



Next up for the Cape side is Bidvest Wits. The Clever Boys were thrashed 4-1 in this weekend's Johannesburg derby with Kaizer Chiefs. Wits are a point ahead of Ajax and will have a lot to prove when they travel to Athlone Stadium on Wednesday.

Triumph Santos got a much needed 2-0 win over Maritzburg United on Friday. The Natal side's woes continue as they are among the teams who have conceded the most goals so far.

High flyers Golden Arrows are still at the top of the table after their 1-1 draw with Bloemfontein Celtic. Orlando Pirates were 4-2 winners over Thanda Royal Zulu and Durban side Amazulu were beaten 2-0 by Supersport United.

Moroka Swallows faced Platinum Stars at the newly upgraded Orlando Stadium. There was much anticipation ahead of the game but both teams played to a tame 0-0 draw.
