Sekhukhune United held by TS Galaxy in Betway Premiership draw

Chibuike Ohizu opened the scoring for the visiting team at Dobsonville Stadium with 65 minutes on the clock, but Kamogelo Sebelebele netted a quick-fire equaliser just five minutes later for a share of the spoils.

The result saw Sekhukhune end the evening in third place with 41 points from 24 games, three clear of Stellenbosch in fourth but having played a game more.

Galaxy occupy fifth place with 34 points, but from 25 matches played.

Babina Noko were the first to foray forward with Siphesihle Mkkhize testing Rockets goalkeeper Ira Tape with a strong early shot from range.

Sipho Mbule then did well to create space down the left hand side but wasn't able to get a clean connection to his effort.

Nhlanhla Mgaga looked make an impact at the other end for the Rockets but was crowded out,as Victor Letsoalo saw his effort blocked en route to goal.

There was little to shout about as the half drew to a close, although Sekhukhune looked the more likely scorers with Mbule the main threat with his passes into good attacking areas. 

With Galaxy looking to effect the scoreline, Khulumani Ndamane powered a 58th minutes header just over the Sekhukhune goal with Renaldo Leaner stranded.

Babina Noko may well have taken the lead moments later though when Ellis Rammala's speculative shot from outside skimmed the top of the net.

Tape, meanwhile, was called on again when he stopped Kamogelo Sebelebele from firing home after some good interplay from the visitors.

But the goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Ohizu from tapping in from close-range from a Keletso Makgalwa delivery with 65 minutes of the match played.

Galaxy responded in the only way they could and were soon level pegging as Marks Munyai set up Sebelebele to finish from the middle of the box.

The goal seemingly deflated the travelling team, who had to settle for a point as the race for a CAF place comes down to the wire.
