Polokwane City promoted to PSL by narrowest of margins on ...

City secured promotion through first-half goals from Samuel Nana, Francis Baloyi, Puleng Marema and Bulelani Nikani in this match where Callies dished out possibly their worst performance of their season. 

Though City cruised to victory against Callies, it was a heartbreaking day for Spurs who went behind after a stunning long-range free-kick by Samuel Julies after 77 minutes. 

Spurs, who started the day on top of the standings, equalised in the dying minutes through Therlo Moosa but it proved to be too little too late as they needed a straight win to be promoted. 

For their championship efforts, City will walk away with R5m that will possibly go towards helping them to prepare for the DStv Premiership where they will be trying to wrestle the title from a dominant Mamelodi Sundowns. 

There was no drama at the bottom of the log as Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) and Black Leopards were relegated to the third tier of South African football a few weeks ago.
