TS Galaxy FC secured a point but not a victory in their Premier Soccer League campaign with a 0-0 draw away to Polokwane City on Saturday. The result leaves Bernard Parker's side 13th in the table with six points from nine games, now 17 points adrift of leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. Their overall record this season stands at one win, three draws, and four losses from eight games, with a goal difference of minus five having scored seven and conceded twelve. Their recent form over the last four matches is no wins, one draw, and three losses.
Team Changes
Parker made three second-half substitutions in search of a breakthrough. Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi replaced Seluleko Mahlambi at half-time, with Siyanda Xulu and Mpho Welcome Maoke entering the fray later on. Top scorer Victor Letsoalo, who has four goals this season in eight appearances, was withdrawn in stoppage time.
Disciplinary Action
The match saw a pair of yellow cards, with TS Galaxy's T. Kakora cautioned for a foul in the 62nd minute. Polokwane City's Monty Batlhabane also received a booking 11 minutes later.
Key Statistics
TS Galaxy dominated possession with 58% and outshot their hosts 14 to six. However, only three of those efforts were on target. The visitors also won 11 corners but could not convert their set-piece advantage.
The draw extends a difficult run of form for Galaxy, whose last four league outings have yielded just one point. They were beaten 3-0 by Kaizer Chiefs last Tuesday and suffered the same scoreline against Orlando Pirates earlier in October, following a 1-0 loss to Chippa United in September. Their next chance to end that sequence comes quickly, with a home fixture against Durban City, who are tenth in the table, on Wednesday 4 November. Parker's men will need to start turning possession into goals if they are to climb from their current position in the lower half of the standings.
