Overview
- Matchweek six produced a flurry of results that reshaped the early table, including Sundowns drawing 1-1 with Chippa United, Milford FC beating Richards Bay 5-1, and Kruger United earning their first top-flight win 1-0 over TS Galaxy.
- Mamelodi Sundowns sit top with 20 points from eight matches while Orlando Pirates are second on 13 points with multiple games in hand, making the standings provisional.
- Orlando Pirates return to league action on 17 September when they host Durban City at Orlando Stadium as the team balances PSL fixtures with the MTN8 final and CAF commitments.
- Pirates were drawn to face Namibia’s African Stars in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round but reporting differs on the Stars’ home venue with some sources naming Pretoria’s Lucas Moripe Stadium and others listing Botswana’s National Stadium in Gaborone.
- Early relegation pressure and turnover are emerging: Marumo Gallants sit bottom and appointed Ronnie Kanalelo as coach, while promoted sides Milford and Kruger have produced results that complicate the season for established teams.
