Sekhukhune United held to draw but climb back into top three

Sekhukhune United reclaimed third spot on the Betway Premiership table despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Magesi FC on Saturday evening.

Magesi struck early in the match, capitalising just three minutes after Kayden Rademeyer was forced off with injury in the 11th minute.

Full-back Delano Abrahams finished smartly from the right side of the six-yard box in the 14th minute to put the visitors ahead.

Sekhukhune responded with increasing pressure, and nearly equalised before the break. Tlou Masegela squandered a close-range chance following a pinpoint cross from John Mokone, while Elvis Chipezeze was called into action to deny Thabang Monare's powerful header. Monare was replaced at halftime by Lesedi Kapinga in a tactical switch.

The hosts continued to threaten from set-pieces, with Tresor Yamba and Keletso Makgalwa orchestrating corner routines that troubled the Magesi defence.

Their persistence paid off inside the final ten minutes when Chibuike Ohizu levelled with a composed finish from the centre of the box.

Sekhukhune pushed for a winner, and Yamba nearly snatched all three points, heading just over from a Vusimuzi Mncube delivery.
