Cape Town City remain without a win in the 2025/26 Motsepe Foundation Championship after recording a frustrating 1-1 draw with Hungry Lions at the Mxolisi Dicky Jacobs Stadium on Saturday.

Following their 0-0 stalemate at home against Venda Football Academy last week, the Citizens struggled to get maximum points in Upington this weekend. Jaedin Rhodes gave his side the lead in the 55th minute, which was subsequently cancelled out by the hosts at the hour-mark.

Elsewhere, table toppers Casric Stars made it two wins from two games following a 1-0 result at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Casric steered two points away from second-placed Venda, who bagged a crucial 2-1 win against Gomora United at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.

Motsepe Foundation Championship new boys Leicesterford gained their first win in the league this weekend and secured a 1-0 victory against Upington City at the popular Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

Also, Baroka were among the biggest winners in the Motsepe Foundation Championship this weekend as they jotted down a one-sided 3-0 win against Midlands Wanderers at the Mafori Mphahlele Stadium on Saturday.

This weekend’s action was rounded off with a 2-2 draw between the University of Pretoria and Black Leopards at the Tuks Stadium, while Lerumo Lions scored a 2-1 victory against The Bees at the NWU Mafikeng Stadium.
