SOCCER NEWS - The top four teams on the Absa Premiership log are covered by just two points following a trio of matches played on Wednesday night.
Cape Town City defended their position at the top of the table with a 1-1 draw against Bidvest Wits at the Cape Town Stadium.
The Citizens looked in danger of being leapfrogged by the Clever Boys, who held the lead for more than an hour of the 90 minutes after an early penalty by Phakamani Mahlambi, but a first goal in top flight football for Tshepo Gumede ensured the spoils were shared.
The stalemate between the teams ensured that the Capetonians stayed top of the log on 46 points from 24 matches, while Wits moved into second spot with 45 points from 22 outings in the league.
Kaizer Chiefs are placed third on 45 points (with an inferior goal difference to Wits) from 24 matches, while Mamelodi Sundowns are looming ominously on 44 points from 22 matches. They claimed a third successive win after Hlompho Kekana’s late goal saw them defeat SuperSport United 1-0 at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
