PivotalDurban City secured a crucial 2-0 victory over TS Galaxy in what proved to be a tale of defensive misfortune and late substitution impact. The breakthrough came against the run of play in the 66th minute when P. Fisher's unfortunate own goal handed the hosts the lead they desperately needed. The match remained tight until the closing stages, when substitute Luphumlo Sifumba, introduced just 16 minutes earlier, sealed the points with a well-taken goal in the 87th minute. This vital three points could prove pivotal for Durban City's survival hopes, while TS Galaxy's struggles continue as they failed to capitalize on their opportunities in what was a largely even contest.
