The result ensured that Abafana Bes'thende remained in ninth position in the standings, while Galaxy are 13th, three points clear of bottom side Baroka FC.

In KwaZulu-Natal, though, Arrows chucked away an opportunity to bag more than just a point.

Arrows were their worst enemy in the second half. They should have wrapped up the points after substitute Knox Mutizwa missed a penalty late in the game after TS Galaxy midfielder Mlungisi Mbunjana handled inside of the penalty area.
This was a ninth draw for Arrows who continue to play good football, but miss chances they could have easily buried. The penalty miss is definitely going to sting for some time to come.
