Pretoria U Women secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over CG Galaxy Women in the South African Super League group stage on Saturday. The visitors made no mistake from the opening exchanges, hanging on for a result that keeps them within touching distance of the top four.
And here's the thing — the 13th-minute opener set the tone for the entire afternoon. A precise finish from the away side caught the home defence flat-footed, and Galaxy never quite recovered their composure after that. To be fair, the visitors had been more clinical in front of goal all season, but this was a different level of efficiency.
The second goal arrived at the 75-minute mark when Pretoria U Women finally doubled their advantage. Galaxy's back line appeared disjointed, allowing the visitors to pick their moment and punish the error. By then, the match had slipped beyond any hope of a comeback for the hosts.
The third and final goal came in the 86th minute, effectively closing the contest. A swift counter-attack found space behind the Galaxy defence, and the visitors made no mistake with the finish. Three goals from three chances — clinical, ruthless, and entirely deserved.
CG Galaxy Women remain third on 13 points from six games, though this defeat leaves them four points behind Pretoria U Women's sixth-place tally. The visitors have now won three of their six matches with one draw and two defeats.
The result means Pretoria U Women can push harder for a higher finish, while Galaxy must now find a way to protect their position. In the group stage, every point counts, and this was a day where the visitors took full advantage.
