TS Galaxy bounced back to winning ways in the Betway Premiership with a 2-0 victory over Golden Arrows on Saturday evening. The Rockets were without forward Victor Letsoalo through suspension, as the visitors rolled out the same eleven from the abandoned clash with SuperSport United. Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs winger Keagan Dolly gave the host the lead with a superb low finish into the bottom-corner. The duo combined again in the matter of minutes when Mvelase played a ball in the area for Dolly to go on the head and secure a first half brace, but he snapped his lines.

Abafana Besthende regained confidence following the difficult start and threatened when Bongani Cele nodded a cross from Nduduzo Sibiya against the upright. Cele was in the thick of things once more and managed to play Angelo Van Rooi in-behind for a strike, but the former Hungry Lions man failed to capitalise. However, Dolly continued to cause problems in the second half and saw another effort from Kamogelo Sebelebele’s delivery steer narrowly off target. Arrows showed a bit of courage and came close to drawing level when Nhlanhla Zwane’s rasping shot from the area moved narrowly beyond goal.

The chances came in succession in the latter stages, with lanky striker Dzenan Zajmovic coming close for Rockets before Olwethu Ncube seek to level the visitors. Rockets added more firepower in Puso Dithejane in place of Sebelebele before Sphesihle Maduna stepped on to take the place of Nhlanhla Mgaga. Dithejane made the points safe when he combined with defender Samukele Kabini and bagged the back of the net, seeing the close to a close in the process. The confirmed line-ups for the match were as follows:
