Match Preview:
Magesi faced off against Royal AM in the South Africa Premier League on September 28, with kickoff at 16:30 UTC, ending in a 0-0 draw.
Magesi entered the match struggling to find form, following losses to Polokwane City and Sekhukhune United, and without a victory in their last four games. With a defense that has conceded in five consecutive matches, both players and coaching staff likely focused on shoring up their backline.
Royal AM, on the other hand, arrived in better spirits, coming off three straight draws against Richards Bay, SuperSport United, and Cape Town City, extending their unbeaten streak to five games.
