Six DStv Premiership matches are scheduled for midweek this week as the battle hots up for Soweto bragging rights.

Three matches took place on Tuesday, 5 March, one of which saw Kaizer Chiefs edge Golden Arrows 1-0 at the FNB Stadium thanks to an 11th-minute goal by Wandile Duba.

The three points for their win saw Amakhosi draw level with their Buccaneers rivals on 29 log points.

The Glamour Boys have, however, played one more match.

In other fixtures played on Tuesday evening, Stellenbosch FC beat Cape Town City FC 1-0, while AmaZulu and Swallows played to a 1-1 draw.

A further three matches are scheduled for Wednesday, 6 March, all kicking off at 19:30.

In the pick of the ties, Orlando Pirates will host struggling Cape Town Spurs, while Chippa United will take on Richards Bay and Sekhukhune United will entertain Royal AM.

As reported by The South African website, the clash between TS Galaxy and log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns was called off after the TS Galaxy team bus was involved in an accident en route to Mbombela in which the driver of a VW Polo was killed.
