Race for promotion to the PSL going down to the wire

Before Phewa’s decisive strike that gave Smiso Ndlela no chance, the match was tied on 1-1 after second-half penalties from Ashley Cupido and Yussuf Jappie. 

In the other match involving a promotion hopeful, Casric squandered an opportunity to top the standings when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Venda Football Academy (VFA) at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium. 

Polokwane remained in the discussions for a return to the PSL with a 2-0 win over Platinum City. 

On the final day of the season, Spurs take on University of Pretoria (Tuks), Casric visits Cape Town All Stars, while Polokwane will be up against rejuvenated Pretoria Callies.
