A defeat for either side at the Mbombela Stadium could see them move into the relegation zone by the end of the weekend should Swallows FC win their game against Baroka FC on Sunday.

Coastal FC appeared to be taking the game more seriously than Dinaledi and clinched the game through goals from Ashley Du Preez, Taariq Fielies and Luphumlo Sifumba.

Barcelona have declared their interest in signing Czech Republic star who has also attracted attention from the Premier League.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane’s Bafana Bafana performances combined with a new American soccer initiative known as the ’U-22 initiative’ helped the player secure a move to the US.
