Fresh from his heroics between Amavubi posts in goalless draw against Nigeria in the AFCON qualifiers, goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari was in his elements again as he pulled a couple of saves to help Kaizer Chiefs defeat Marumo Gallants 2-1 in the South African Betway Premier League.

While Abdul Rwatubyaye has an excellent 45 minutes on his debut at Brera Strumica who beat Besa 3-2, Thierry Manzi’s Al Alhy Tripoli held Tanzania’s Simba SC in a match that was marred by ugly scenes during which angry home fans threw bottles towards match officials and visiting team’s players.
