A first-half brace from Seluleko Mahlambi handed the Rockets the victory, while the newcomers have now slipped into a three-match losing streak after opening the campaign with a promising 3-1 win over Golden Arrows.

For Galaxy, the win comes during their most successful phase of the season, further boosted by the lifting of their Fifa transfer ban, which had prevented their new signings from featuring in the opening matches. With the squad now complete, Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic has been able to deploy his preferred lineup and tactics, which have begun to yield results.

The Bosnian mentor was pleased with how his side executed the game plan and effectively neutralized Siwelele’s attacking threats.

“We analysed Siwelele and how they played,” Beganovic said after his sides win.
