Namibian striker, Wendell Rudath scored the only goal of the match against Police XI to keep his side in pole position for its second league title. The log leaders recently hit a slump and dropped five points in the last two matches before they faced the Jungle Kings.
They first suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to BDF XI before they played to a 1-1 draw against Nico United midweek. Their closest rivals and defending champions, GU at the time took advantage and cut down the gap.
Another defeat would have seen GU close up at the top with only two points difference between them and log leaders. However, Galaxy responded positively yesterday and moved within a touching distance of the league championship. They now need two wins in the last three matches to seal the victory. GU also registered an emphatic victory against relegated side, Mogoditshane Fighters yesterday.
Thero Setsile scored a brace with other goals coming from Thatayaone Kgamanyane, Onkabetse Makgantai and Mothusi Johnson as the Reds registered a 5-0 win. They have now scored eight goals in the last two league matches. In other Premier League matches played yesterday, Eleven Angeles maintained their good run in their maiden Premier League appearance when they beat Sua Flamingoes 2-1.
Security Systems beat Nico United 1-0. On Saturday, Extension managed to come from behind twice to play to a 2-2 draw against Township Rollers. On another front, Holy Ghost continued to do well in their quest to survive relegation when they hammered Prisons XI 4-1. The Mmopane-based side has been doing well since the appointment of Phillimon Makwengwe few months ago.
