SKW opened up a five-point lead at the top of the log after beating Oshakati City 1-0 at their home field in Olympia on Saturday. Jacky Stephanus scored the winner when he headed in a fine cross by Edwin Korukuve on 60m.

The match was not much of a spectacle and chances were few and far between.
In an uneventful first half, Sledge Gowaseb came the closest to scoring when he hit the crossbar with a 20m strike.

SKW picked up the tempo after the break and immediately started creating chances. Chepela Chepela came close when he dribbled into the box, but Oshakati keeper Melksidek Shiku just managed to clear the ball in time. Shiku once again came to the rescue when he tipped a 30m piledriver by Marco van Wyk for a corner, but SKW’s pressure finally paid off when Stephanus headed in Korukuve’s cross on 60m.

Korukuve and Van Wyk put in a few good runs but SKW were content to defend their lead while Oshakati never looked like scoring.

In Walvis Bay, Eleven Arrows beat Chief Santos 1-0 with Sebastian Matende scoring the winner on 52m. Arrows had their keeper Virgil Vries to thank after he saved a first half penalty by Nelson Geingob.

In Otjiwarongo, Orlando Pirates were held to a 2-all draw by bottom of the log Mighty Gunners.
