Bethuel Muzeu delivered a decisive late moment for Sekhukhune United, scoring in the 92nd minute to secure a 2-1 victory over Marumo Gallants and give Babina Noko a valuable boost in the league standings.
The dramatic winner ensured Sekhukhune took all three points from the encounter after a contest that remained alive until the closing moments. Muzeu’s strike proved the difference, turning the result into a painful defeat for Gallants, who were unable to hold on for a point.
The victory carries significance for Sekhukhune as they continue their push up the table. Babina Noko moved into sixth place, drawing level on points with Kaizer Chiefs, who occupy fifth position. The result keeps Sekhukhune within reach of the teams above them as the league campaign continues.
For Marumo Gallants, the outcome adds to a difficult start. The club remains at the bottom of the standings with just two points, leaving them under pressure to find a way to turn their results around. Losing in the final moments will make the defeat especially frustrating, as a late goal can quickly change the outcome of a tightly contested match.
Muzeu’s contribution also underlined the importance of staying focused until the final whistle. In matches where the score remains close, one moment of quality can decide the result, and Sekhukhune made the most of their opportunity deep into stoppage time.
The 2-1 scoreline gives Babina Noko renewed momentum as they look to build consistency and keep pace with the teams competing higher up the table. Moving level on points with Chiefs offers a useful reference point, although league positions and points totals can shift as other fixtures are played.
Gallants, meanwhile, will need to respond in their upcoming matches if they are to climb away from the foot of the standings. With only two points recorded, every opportunity to collect points becomes increasingly important.
For now, the headline moment belongs to Muzeu. His 92nd-minute strike secured Sekhukhune’s win and left Marumo Gallants to reflect on a defeat decided at the very end.
