STANDINGS: Updated DStv Premiership log at the midway break

The new season of the DStv Premiership has already dished up plenty of excitement, but fans will now need to be patient as the competition heads into an extended break as a result of the Fifa World Cup.

Notably, Sundowns have bounced back from the disappointment of their MTN8 exit, and look handily placed five points clear at the top of the DStv Premiership table.

The six points and eight goals see them hold a five-point gap over second-placed Richards Bay. The Brazilians also have a game in hand over the Premiership newcomers who have been the surprise package of the season so far.

Meanwhile, SuperSport United missed the chance to go second after after a 1-1 draw with Swallows on Sunday afternoon, but they will be quite pleased to be in third place at this point.

In Saturday’s highly-anticipated Soweto derby, Yusuf Maart not only finished off what is sure to be a goal-of-the-season contender, but his incredible effort from within his own half served as the match-winner for Chiefs.

As a result, Amakhosi have now leapfrogged the Buccaneers to lie fourth on the log, two points ahead of fifth-placed Pirates.
