Leopards take pole in promotion race

● Two goals from Mwape Musonda placed Black Leopards in pole position to get promotion to the Premier Soccer League after they held Platinum Stars 2-2 at the Moruleng Stadium in Rustenburg last night.

Stars striker Letsie Koapeng scored for Dikwena in the 22nd minute only for Zambian Musonda to level in the 51st minute.

Koapeng looked to have secured the first win for Platinum after getting his second in the 84th minute but Musonda produced a spectacular volley to register his third goal in these play-offs, putting Stars at the top of the standings with five points with one match remaining for the Limpopo side.

Leopards will confirm their promotion if they beat Jomo Cosmos in their last play-off match in Thohoyandou on Wednesday.

Cosmos will be home in Vosloorus Stadium against Stars on Saturday in the last match of the play-offs. But this match will mean nothing to Leopards if they secure promotion on Wednesday.
